We are looking for a teacher with classroom experience, whose love for children and enthusiasm for the Waldorf curriculum is complemented by their ability to work well with parents and colleagues.

The school is located in the vibrant city of Madison, Wisconsin, home to the state capital and the flagship campus of the University of Wisconsin, Madison. Located on an isthmus and lands surrounding four lakes, it is a rich intellectual and cultural environment.

With numerous parks and many miles of bike and walking paths, outdoor recreation is a way of life for Madisonians.
