For the past 20 years, The Black Student Fund Teacher Recruitment Program has worked with Participating Independent Schools to increase their number of black faculty and administrators, providing a more equitable educational experience for its black students. All students attending independent schools need guidance, support and positive adult role models. Clearly, the entire school community benefits from the presence of black professionals. Teaching vacancies arise in grades nursery through twelve. Individuals with at least a four-year college degree in education, mathematics, English, history, art, general science, physics, biology, chemistry, foreign languages, humanities, music, computer science, library science, physical education, counseling or administration are needed.
Advanced degrees increase candidate desirability.
