Early Childhood Teacher- PK (3&4yrs. old) The Wilson School

The Wilson School, located in Clayton, seeks a stellar educator for our PK classroom (students who are 3 and 4 years old). Pre-Kindergarten offers a developmentally appropriate, theme-based program with profound educational advantages, where students become independent thinkers who are self-sufficient and well-rounded. The curriculum in Pre-Kindergarten is meaningfully connected to Wilson’s full academic program; it is the first step in our school-wide scope and sequence. Learning is engaging and purposeful, and each student’s academic and developmental needs are met with individualized learning.

Wilson is a close-knit community with 170 students, ages three through sixth grade. Each grade level consists of one class taught by a team of two homeroom teachers. Outside the homeroom team, specialist instructors who teach art, music, library, technology, physical education, and French complement Wilson's exceptional academic program.

Wilson prepares students for success in an ever-changing world. In doing so, the instructional practices we use are both classic and innovative. Our commitment to professional development is unmistakable, as we spend more than twice the national average on growth-oriented activities for our faculty.

At Wilson, we assume an ongoing responsibility to act as part of a larger community. In our recruitment practices, we strive to create a community whose members reflect the diversity inherent in the greater St. Louis area, as well as in the world. The Wilson School is a place where children can listen, question, challenge and probe, thereby making sense of their world. When children graduate from the school, we hope they will carry with them a strong sense of their identity, a willingness to see the common threads that run through all our lives, and a high regard for the value and breadth of differences.

If your educational values and ambitions align with these beliefs, we encourage you to express your interest to teach at Wilson School. The ideal candidate will have:  expertise with instructional practices; understanding of social-emotional learning; excellent interpersonal, communication, and organizational skills; and the ability to work collaboratively.
