Careers at Arbor School

Founded in 1989, Arbor School of Arts & Sciences is an independent K-8 school located on 21 acres of wooded farmland in Tualatin, Oregon. Setting and community influence the professional practice of all our faculty members, who use our gardens and woods to promote outdoor inquiry and environmental stewardship across grades and disciplines. Teachers work in grade-level teams to develop a thematic approach that is responsive to and encouraging of student questions and innovation. We aim to foster collaboration, empathy and civil discourse within student partnerships and cross-grade groupings, modeling this within our teaching teams and parent collaborations.

At Arbor we hold inclusivity and equity as central values and work to continuously expand our own cultural competence as we address issues of race and gender within our curriculum. We recognize many compelling educational reasons as well as a moral imperative to strive toward greater inclusivity, equity and diversity in our school community. (See Fellowship Statement) As a result, we seek to hire teachers who share this dedication and we value experience and expertise in equity, inclusion and cultural competency.

Teachers find a welcoming, supportive, and aspirational community when joining our faculty. Working in professional learning teams to build curricula, study student progress, and continuously refine our own practices, we seek to create an educator community capable of engaging with difficult questions and hopeful possibilities.

Arbor School is also home to the Arbor Center for Teaching, which offers an MAT and Oregon licensure program to a new cohort of Teacher Residents every two years. Working in partnership with Pacific University and local public school districts to prepare new teachers for careers in an ever-changing educational world reinforces our commitment to our own ongoing evolution and improvement. Faculty often serve as mentor teachers and lead graduate level MAT seminars within our Residency Program. Our commitment to teacher training and our lab school model mean that Arbor School seeks teachers with certification or demonstrated interest in working toward certification when hired.
