Teachers at College Prep work closely with one another, honing and reshaping the curriculum. The College Prep science program is innovative and rigorous, and includes three required year-long courses: Physics (in the 9th grade), Chemistry (in the 10th grade), and Biology (in the 11th grade). Beyond required courses, the vast majority of our students choose to take one or more science electives. These include Advanced Topics in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology, and semester electives such as Astronomy, Molecular Genetics, Issues in Science, and Forensics. Students use both texts and teacher-produced material in classes. Science teachers work closely with one another as teams for particular courses and across the curriculum.

Candidates should be eager to spend additional time getting to know and helping students outside of the classroom. College Prep teachers also take a share of other departmental, committee, and general school responsibilities, mostly during the 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. school day. Teachers thrive at College Prep when they partake in the opportunities offered by a rich co-curricular program and a tightly knit school that embraces equity and inclusiveness, and actively seeks to strengthen its ties to the greater Oakland community.

Faculty at College Prep are compensated according to a step scale based on years of experience that ranges from $74,000/year for teachers with no prior relevant experience to $148,500/year for teachers with 44 years of prior experience. Temporary or Part-time teachers are compensated on the same scale, prorated for their percentage or term of employment, but are not eligible for benefits (health coverage, dental coverage, retirement plan, etc).

Founded in 1960, The College Preparatory School is an independent coeducational secondary school created for intellectual risk-takers who want to pursue a purposeful education with kindred peers. Our mission is to prepare students for productive, ethical lives in college and beyond by fostering a stimulating education within an atmosphere of consideration, trust, and mutual responsibility.

As an equal opportunity employer, College Prep does not discriminate in its hiring of employees on the basis of race, color, sex, sexual orientation, religion, creed, national origin, citizenship, marital or veteran status, age, or disability. We actively seek diversity among our faculty and administration as well as among our students.
