We are a settled community of educators, and openings on our faculty are limited.

We are currently considering qualified candidates for the following role starting **January 2027**: * **Mandarin & Physical Education Teacher (5-Month Supply Contract)** About Us La Citadelle International Academy of Arts & Science is an independent school serving students from Prep K (2.5 years old) to Grade 12, grounded in academic excellence and holistic education. We teach both French and English as first languages, and students develop full literacy, fluency, and academic mastery in both. Our community reflects the world our students will inherit: more than 35 nationalities are represented among our students, faculty, and staff. Founded in 2000, La Citadelle has spent more than two decades shaping young people into thoughtful, capable, and grounded individuals. Many of our students begin with us as toddlers and graduate as university-bound young adults, formed across the full arc of their development — intellectually, morally, and personally — in a safe and supportive learning environment. Why Teach Here La Citadelle offers something rare: the chance to teach what you love, to students you genuinely know, in a community built for the long term. The educators who thrive here tell us it is these things above all else that make their work meaningful. * **Teach Your Field, Deeply:** We hire teachers for their expertise. Our educators teach the disciplines they love across multiple grade levels, allowing them to build genuine depth in both their craft and their students’ understanding. * **Know Every Student:** Our class sizes are small by design. You will know every student by name, understand how each one learns, and have the time and space to actually shape their growth. * **A Classroom Built for Teaching:** Our students arrive ready to learn. They are respectful of their teachers, engaged with their work, and supported by families who reinforce the same values at home. The energy of the school flows toward the craft of teaching itself and for learners building essential skills: thinking, discussing, exploring, and embracing challenges. Who We Are Looking For We hire for character as much as for credentials. The educators who thrive at La Citadelle share a few things in common: * A sense of teaching as a vocation. * Principled presence. * Genuine passion for their subject areas. * A growth mindset. * A community orientation.
