Benefits of Teaching at Clapham
Proven curriculum. We have chosen texts that inspire both teacher and student alike. Our outside consultants advise us on these texts to ensure we have seasoned educators evaluating what we choose.
Extensive training. We provide several weeks of formal training before school starts and bring in seasoned consultants to train the staff periodically throughout the year. In addition, teachers occasionally travel to other schools similar in pedagogy to observe and are encouraged to attend conferences or seminars annually to provide further educational growth.
Shorter school days. Our schedule at Clapham has six hours of instructional time per day with full-time teachers able to take planning breaks during specialty classes such as Art, Music, Latin, or P.E.
Administrative support. Despite being a new school, Clapham has already committed the resources to help our teaching staff excel. This includes specialty teachers (Art, Music, Latin, French, Spanish and P.E.) as well as administrative support in the school office.
Great Benefits. We have a terrific program that ranks above most private schools: Blue Cross/Blue Shield health care program; retirement plan; vision benefits; short term/long term disability, and more.
Our goal is to recruit and retain teachers who can contribute to the lives of our students for many years. Clapham is committed to maintaining policies and building supportive infrastructures to encourage teachers to make a career of teaching at Clapham.
