You Belong Here

At Rambam Day School, we believe teaching is about relationships, curiosity, and helping every child feel seen, valued, and capable. We are looking for passionate, thoughtful educators who love children, believe in their potential, and want to be part of a warm, collaborative school community.

Our teachers nurture the whole child intellectually, emotionally, physically, spiritually, and socially by creating classrooms where students feel safe to explore, ask questions, take risks, and grow. We value educators who bring curiosity, empathy, and creativity into their practice and who see families as true partners in a child’s learning journey. At Rambam, you’ll find a supportive environment where your voice matters, collaboration is encouraged, and innovation is celebrated. If you’re excited to make a meaningful impact and grow alongside a dedicated team, we would love to meet you.

• Create yearbook illustrations with fifth grade and contribute visual content for school publications.
• Plan and coordinate six art-related field trips annually to museums, galleries, and community arts organizations.
• Partner with classroom teachers to support interdisciplinary learning.
• Participate actively in faculty meetings, professional development, and school initiatives.
• Use Veracross (or similar systems) to manage grades, communication, and documentation.
