Trinity School is an outstanding elementary day school serving preschool to Grade 5 in Menlo Park, CA. Located across the street from Stanford and on Sand Hill Road, Trinity is a purposefully small school and has partnered with parents for over fifty years to grow children, one at a time, into motivated and capable problem solvers with big hearts.

Trinity School is excited to announce an opening for a Grade 3 Lead Teacher for the 2019-2020 school year. This is an exceptional opportunity for a teacher who is looking to join a team-oriented, inclusive and professional learning community.  The Lead Teacher will be responsible for maintaining a positive and appropriate educational environment in their homeroom and creating a program that meets the intellectual and emotional needs of each child.

The Lead Teacher is joined in the classroom by a paraeducator, whom they supervise.

The ideal candidate will possess 3 + years of teaching experience in a lower elementary classroom environment and have a strong ability to collaborate and a willingness to contribute to a diverse, equity, and inclusion framework.
