Job Opportunities
“The advantage of working at an independent school is the ability to work with children who love to learn, who are curious, who want to know what happens next, who take responsibility for their learning, and who rise to the academic challenges presented to them every day.”
-Deborah Stuart Everett, Speech and Drama Teacher
"With the smaller class sizes at Park Tudor you are able to develop more of a mentor relationship with students. The parents are in tune with their children's strengths and weaknesses and they trust the teachers. This is a wonderful school. I feel very supported by both my colleagues and administrators."
- Sarah Webster, Upper School Math Teacher, Math Department Chair
