Job description
The College Preparatory School
Biology Teacher
Full-Time Teaching Position
Beginning Fall 2026
Founded in 1960, The College Preparatory School is an independent coeducational secondary school created for intellectual risk-takers who want to pursue a purposeful education with kindred peers. Our mission is to prepare students for productive, ethical lives in college and beyond by fostering a stimulating education within an atmosphere of consideration, trust, and mutual responsibility.
College Prep seeks a full time Biology teacher beginning in August 2026. This teacher would teach 4 sections of approximately 16 students. The College Prep science program prioritizes rigor, critical thinking, and hands-on learning. Students are required to take Physics in 9th grade, Chemistry in 10th grade, and Biology in 11th grade. For this reason our Biology curriculum emphasizes cellular and molecular Biology.
Nearly all of our students choose to take one or more science electives in 12th grade. Designed to prepare students for the depth and complexity of college-level courses, these electives include Anatomy and Physiology, Molecular Genetics, Organic Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, Astronomy, Marine Biology, Neuroscience and Mechanics, Electricity, and Magnetism (among others).
At College Prep, Science teachers share a spacious but cozy office where they regularly collaborate with one another and meet with students as needed. A convivial and collegial bunch, in addition to regular impromptu office chats, they meet monthly as a department, weekly as teaching teams.
A qualified candidate will:
- Have a Bachelor's degree in Biology, Chemistry, or a related field
- Be prepared to teach a course on an advanced topic in Biology
- Have a minimum of three years experience teaching Science to students at the secondary or college level
- Have a strong interest in working in a multicultural community
- Be eager to embrace spirited intellectual challenges in a rewarding academic environment
- Have patience, flexibility and a good sense of humor
A preferred candidate will:
- Have a clear vision of the purpose and future of secondary level science education
- Have graduate training in Science
- Have experience or interest in teaching an applied science course
Candidates should be eager to spend additional time getting to know and help students outside of the classroom. College Prep teachers also take a share of other departmental, committee, and general school responsibilities, mostly during the 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. school day. Teachers thrive at College Prep when they partake in the opportunities offered by a rich co-curricular program and a tightly knit school that embraces equity and inclusiveness, and actively seeks to strengthen its ties to the greater Oakland community.
Faculty at College Prep are compensated according to a step scale based on years of experience that ranges from $74,000 for teachers with no prior relevant experience to $148,500 for teachers with 44 years of prior experience.
Benefits include medical and dental coverage, a retirement plan (to which the school contributes regardless of employee contribution), and most pleasantly and collegially, a prepared lunch every day. College Prep is a community of life-long learners and actively encourages and supports the professional development of all of its members.
As an equal opportunity employer, College Prep does not discriminate in its hiring of employees on the basis of race, color, sex, sexual orientation, religion, creed, national origin, citizenship, marital or veteran status, age, or disability. We actively seek diversity among our faculty and administration as well as among our students.
