Employment Opportunities

The Waldorf School of Philadelphia welcomes employment inquiries from qualified candidates for positions posted below.

The Waldorf School of Philadelphia began in 1996 with 30 children and two teachers in a church basement. Today we are situated on a spacious campus in the Mount Airy section of the city. We now have five kindergarten/nursery programs, eight grades, a full program of special subjects including handwork, woodwork, clay modeling, Spanish, German for the upper grades, music and Eurythmy. We have a supportive parent community, a knowledgeable and mutually encouraging faculty, and a dedicated administrative team working to insure that all goes smoothly in the classroom. Nearby neighbors include the Kimberton Waldorf School, several Anthroposophic medical providers, and two Camphill communities.

If you can imagine being part of a school, nestled in a city, with the possibility of seeing deer and hawks outside the windows; a city whose history includes Ben Franklin, William Penn, the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution; a city rich with historical, educational and cultural attractions such as the Liberty Bell, the Rodin Museum and the Franklin Institute, then we want to hear from you.
