Middle School Class Teacher 

January 2022 | Shining Mountain Waldorf School | Boulder, Colorado

Shining Mountain Waldorf School (SMWS) is seeking an experienced, enthusiastic candidate with Waldorf teacher training for the 2022-2023 school year. The Middle School Class teacher carries primary responsibility for teaching the middle school curriculum, grades 6-8. SMWS currently has a 1-5 and 6-8 class teacher rotation system. While we welcome applications from teachers experienced in the 1-8 cycle, we anticipate that the successful candidate will be moving through the grades 6-8 cycle. 

The ideal candidate is a Waldorf-trained, experienced middle school teacher. A Bachelors or more advanced degree, Waldorf training and classroom experience are required. Social health and Waldorf remedial training are pluses. The candidate will also have strong committee leadership skills, and proven ability to work well with and be supportive of colleagues.

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. All of our full time faculty members are Waldorf trained teachers and represent a rich spectrum of life experiences along with their strength as Waldorf educators. 

SMWS is celebrating its 39th year of bringing Waldorf education to the community of beautiful Boulder, Colorado. The school is fully accredited by both the Association of Waldorf Schools of North America (AWSNA) and the Association of Colorado Independent Schools (ACIS). Additionally, there is an active Anthroposophical community 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, HR Director, Marketing Director, Campus Operations Director, and Business Director.

We offer a competitive Waldorf-trained base salary, along with years of experience. SMWS has an excellent benefit package including medical, dental, vision, short and long term disability, life insurance, 401(k), flexible spending accounts, and a newly added identity theft recovery group plan.
