Director of Curriculum - New York, United States - City and Country School
Description
The City & Country School is New York City's preeminent progressive nursery through eighth-grade school. Located in the West Village and founded in 1914 by progressive education pioneer Caroline Pratt, C&C's unique program uses social studies as the anchor for the academic program. Her vision that we learn from children remains our guiding principle. Teacher autonomy and flexibility are fundamental tenets of the student experience; each faculty member leads the development of a dynamic and ever-evolving program that centers around developmental stages and students' interests.
We look to strengthen the collective educational experience of our students by examining the entire arc of the academic program and vitalizing throughlines in the curriculum. Reporting directly to the Principal, the Director of Curriculum will work closely with all faculty, division directors, school leaders, student support staff, and the school's Education Committee, to guide this work.
