Upper School Mathematics

Fort Worth Country Day is seeking enthusiastic, student-centered educators who love teaching mathematics and are eager to join a vibrant Upper School community.

Beyond the classroom, we seek educators who look forward to participating in the broader life of the school in ways that are sustainable and support a healthy work-life balance. Our teachers delight in the energy, humor, and authenticity of teenagers, bring optimism and curiosity to their work, and thrive in a collegial community of adults who learn from and with one another.
