Thank you for your interest in becoming a part of the amazing FernLeaf Community!  We are a fun loving, positive, and cohesive group of educators committed to the FernLeaf Mission.  We value, respect, and support each other in everything we do which is a part of what makes FernLeaf an awesome place to work.  From our incredible calendar to our noon dismissal every Friday, we are intentional in our school design to make sure our staff feels supported.  Check out what some of our current FernLeaf staff have to say about their experience here!

Dear FernLeaf applicants!

We haven't forgotten about you!  As a result of school closure, our amazing team is working around the clock to make all sorts of cool things happen for our students as we have pivoted to Remote Learning.

While challenging to be sure, making the shift with our incredible staff has been a wonderful shared experience and we will no doubt be better educators as a result.  Strangely, despite the physical distance between us, we are also a tighter, more connected, and more cohesive group than ever!

All that said, our hiring process has gotten sidetracked a bit but we'll be back at it soon!

Immediate Openings:

• Exceptional Children Teacher - Want to be a part of one of the most amazing EC Teams out there?  FernLeaf has an immediate opening for a full time EC Teacher to join an incredibly smart, compassionate, and committed group of people currently serving students in Kindergarten through 6th grade in a variety of settings.  Since FernLeaf is growing each year through high school, numerous teaching and leadership opportunities working with a wide array of students and staff in different capacities and settings will unfurl over time.  Now is a great time to get your foot in the door and help FernLeaf grow!

• Custodian/Maintenance - FernLeaf is incredibly sad that our awesome Custodian Brandon has had to leave us, but equally excited for him as he continues in a leadership role in another school system!  We are now seeking a new Custodian and Maintenance person to fill his big shoes and be a part of our amazing school community. FernLeaf's Custodian is an incredibly important part of our culture, regularly engages with our students, and plays an important role in the success of our school.  Please complete the TeacherMatch application below (step 1). No need to complete step 2.

• Classroom Teachers Grades K-7 - Want to be a part of FernLeaf’s incredible elementary program, help with the continued growth and development of our amazing middle grades, or play a role in the design and development of an important new high school program?  Now is a great time to get your foot in the door and help FernLeaf grow!  We believe in hiring the right people first, and then moving all of our human resources around in a way that best serves our students, their families, and our staff.  To that end, we do not advertise specific grade levels or subjects for our highly sought after K-7 teaching positions during the hiring process. If you're a good fit for FernLeaf, we'll find the right fit for you!  Since FernLeaf is growing each year through high school, numerous teaching and leadership opportunities working with a wide array of students and staff in different capacities and settings will unfurl over time. There’s no better time to join our incredible team than now!
