Shining Mountain Waldorf School (SMWS) is seeking an experienced, enthusiastic candidate with Waldorf teacher training for the 2024-2025 school year.
SMWS currently has a 1-5 and 6-8 class teacher rotation system. The Middle School Class teacher carries primary responsibility for teaching the middle school curriculum, grades 6-8. The eighth-grade teacher is supported by an experienced team of subject teachers, including a math specialist, language arts, eurythmy, and physical education. Restorative practice work throughout the school also supports class health and faculty and staff collaboration.
The teacher, leading Grade 8 for the ’24-25 school year, will have opportunities to return for a 6-8 loop or teach high school classes depending on the candidate’s needs and interests for the coming years.
The ideal candidate has a BA/BS or more advanced degree, is Waldorf-trained or interested in embarking on certification, and has some teaching experience. Familiarity with social health/restorative practices, Waldorf remedial training/experience, and an understanding of place-based education are pluses.
SMWS is a prekindergarten through 12th-grade school. We offer the full breadth of the Waldorf curriculum, which includes two world languages (Spanish and German), woodworking, handwork, movement, instrumental and choral music. Most of our full-time faculty members are Waldorf-trained teachers and represent a rich spectrum of life experiences and their strengths as Waldorf educators.
SMWS is celebrating its 40th year of bringing Waldorf education to the beautiful community of Boulder, Colorado. The school is fully accredited by the Association of Waldorf Schools of North America (AWSNA) and the Association of Colorado Independent Schools (ACIS). Additionally, an active Anthroposophical community is in the Denver/Boulder area.
Boulder is located in the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains, about a 45-minute drive from Denver. It is at the heart of the organic food industry, with an award-winning farmers’ market and many local organic bakeries and farms. The University of Colorado and numerous local organizations provide a rich variety of arts, lectures, and workshops, many of which employ the talents of local community members. The quiet beauty of the natural environment offers contemplative pastimes and a full range of outdoor recreation, including world-class ski areas and many national parks and forests.
The parent body is supportive, well-informed, and involved. Our Board is strong and enjoys a supportive, collaborative relationship with the Faculty. We have a highly competent administrative function with a School Director, Pedagogical Director, Admission Director, Development Director, Human Resources Director, Marketing Director, Campus Operations Director, and Business Director.
We offer a competitive Waldorf-trained base salary, along with years of experience.

“I feel like one of the really important things that you get out of a Waldorf education is curiosity—curiosity to go and learn and explore what’s out there in the world. I fell into engineering and a path that I don’t think I would have anticipated, but having an arts background where you’re bringing creativity and imagination into problem-solving, there’s a really incredible synergy between those.”
