The Croft School: Jamaica Plain
Associate Teacher
March 23rd, June 12th, 2026
The Croft School (Jamaica Plain) is seeking an exceptional Associate Teacher to join our team starting in mid-March 2026, for the duration of the school year.
The hours for this position are 9:30am-5:30pm, Monday-Friday.
This individual may have the opportunity to join the team full-time for the 2026–2027 school year, contingent on available openings.
About The Croft School
The Croft School is a young independent school in the Jamaica Plain neighborhood of Boston. Having opened in Fall 2020, our school currently enrolls 250 students in Preschool through Grade 5. During the school year, we will expand to include Grade 6.
We are considered by many families and teachers to represent an exciting new type of school that is ideal for those concerned about the area's existing public school (inconsistent quality; driven by standardized test outcomes) and private school (elitism; unaffordable; lack of diversity; limited innovation) options.
The Croft School is built around the following ethos:
Our program includes high-quality math, reading, and writing instruction, innovative project-based learning, age-appropriate opportunities for play and creative expression, frequent enrichment and Spanish courses, and weekly nature explorations or community trips (field study). Further, we seek to provide our families with an exceptional experience built around convenience, community, communication, and partnership.
The Croft School has sister schools in Providence (founded 2018) and the South End neighborhood of Boston (founded 2022).
More information about our school can be found here:
