Faculty & Staff
Open Positions
Classics/Latin Teacher (Part-Time)
The Williams School seeks an enthusiastic and adaptable part-time Classics teacher to join our Classics
Department beginning in the 2025–2026 academic year. The ideal candidate will have the ability to teach three
sections of Latin, mostly introductory levels. The position requires skill in creating engaging, student-centered
lessons that develop language proficiency and cultural understanding. Applicants must be enthusiastic and
energetic, foster intellectual curiosity, and be willing to teach as a member of a team in conjunction with other
department members. The School uses the Suburani curriculum for the lower levels of Latin instruction, Athenaze
for introductory Greek, which is included in Level III language instruction, and unaltered texts of Pliny, Cicero, and
Vergil for the upper levels. Effective communication with students, families, and colleagues, attendance at
departmental and faculty meetings, and full participation in the life of the school are also expected. Previous
experience teaching in an independent school setting, a Bachelor’s degree in Latin, Classics, or a related field, and a
deep understanding of Classical languages and culture is preferred.
In 2014, Williams moved beyond the AP model to offer self-developed advanced courses in all disciplines. In the
2022-2023 academic year, two distinct opportunities began for students to take their learning to a higher level of
engagement with greater academic maturity. Four certificate programs: Environmental Sustainability, Global
Perspectives, Humanities, and STEM were introduced for students to engage in over the course of their sophomore
through senior years. Students complete a research and/or professional exploration component and present their
certificate work to a committee. In addition, the College Acceleration Program offers juniors and seniors a full
semester of college courses and corresponding credits. Over the course of their junior and senior years, students
will take courses at Williams plus one course per semester at Connecticut College. By graduation, students
successfully completing the program will gain a transcript from Connecticut College alongside their Williams
diploma. The Classics instruction at Williams has inspired students to engage in Certificates related to Classical
culture and to take Classics-related classes at Connecticut College.
Interested candidates should send a cover letter, resume, and educational philosophy to Mrs. Chelsea Rallis
