Description



Menlo School seeks a full-time Upper School Chemistry Teacher starting in August 2026. The ideal candidate would possess at least 3 years of teaching experience, hold a graduate degree, and be able to teach both introductory Chemistry to 10th graders and Advanced Chemistry to juniors and seniors. In addition to teaching four sections and two preps, full-time faculty members also oversee a ten-student advocacy group and participate actively in other aspects of Menlo's student life program. We look for educators who:

  • Will inspire and support our students and be active participants in our student life program and in other aspects of our vibrant learning community.
  • Share our dedication to cultivating an ever more heterogeneous and inclusive community while committing to equity, diversity, inclusion, and belonging.
  • Actively cultivate environments that empower girls and students from underrepresented backgrounds so that all students will see and counter gender and race biases in group work at school and beyond, and are deeply invested in teaching in ways that recognize the implicit biases they and the world hold, to engage students in culturally competent ways.
  • Will work to be inclusive so that every student can see themselves in their classrooms, curricula, and disciplines.
  • Are highly collaborative with other community members both within their own department and in the School community as a whole.
  • Are committed to professional growth in their discipline and in their teaching practice. 
  • Are passionate about teaching, experts in their fields, and dedicated to helping all students achieve their personal best. 
  • Will embody the heart of Menlo School by promoting collegial, respectful, and supportive relationships.
We offer:
  • An exceptional work environment and caring community
  • Highly competitive salary
  • A comprehensive benefits package, including generous contributions to a retirement plan for eligible employees and their families. Learn more here.
To be considered for this position, please submit your resume and a brief cover letter outlining your interest and relevant experience through our application portal.  We thank all applicants in advance for their interest and will reach out only to those most closely aligned with the position's needs. We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment visa for this position. We look forward to hearing from you About us: Menlo School is an independent, coeducational, college-preparatory school for students in grades six through twelve. Located in the heart of Silicon Valley and founded in 1915, the School is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges and is a member of the National and California Associations of Independent Schools. Menlo is dedicated to providing a joyful, transformative education that empowers students to explore broadly, think critically, act responsibly, and navigate the complexities of an evolving world. Our relevant and engaging academic program—complemented by outstanding arts and athletics—sparks wonder, fosters a love of learning, and inspires students to reach their full potential as they grow in competence, confidence, and curiosity. Student care and the supportive relationships students build with teachers, coaches, and peers are at the heart of all we do as we uphold the highest ethical standards, develop character, and pursue a shared commitment to purposes larger than ourselves. At Menlo, belonging is essential to who we are as a school. We embrace the growth and well-being of every member of our community by cultivating a culture rooted in kindness, trust, and belonging—one where everyone feels welcomed, included, and valued, and where our diverse backgrounds, identities, and ideas are honored with curiosity, care, and compassion. Learn more about the Menlo School here. Our equal opportunity employment policy: Menlo School is committed to a policy of non-discrimination and equal opportunity for all employees and qualified applicants. We administer all personnel practices without regard to race, color, religion, sex, age, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, marital status or domestic partnership status, disability, protected veteran status or military status, genetic information, or any other category protected under applicable law. Pay range: In the spirit of pay transparency, we share the base salary range for this position for the academic year. Our Faculty have a wide range of experience. We have teachers who are relatively new to the profession and those who have expertly taught for over 30 years. The full pay range, which encompasses all experience levels, is $97,000-$182,000. Within this broad range, we pay each Faculty member in accordance with what is reasonably expected given an individual's experience level. Base salary is exclusive of fringe benefits, employer contributions to retirement plans, and potential stipends (for eligible employees). Pay ranges at Menlo are reasonable estimates of what the School anticipates paying for a role, but are not guaranteed. If hired at Menlo School, your final base salary will be determined by factors such as skills, education, experience, job level, part-time status, and the number of months worked per academic year. In addition to those factors, we believe in the importance of pay equity and consider internal equity with our current employees as a part of any final offer. Please note that the generous range mentioned above is the full base salary range for the role. Hiring at the top of the range is not typical at Menlo School to allow for future and continued salary growth.
