Fine Arts Teacher - Cranbrook Upper School

Cranbrook Kingswood Upper School is seeking an enthusiastic, creative, and innovative Drawing and Painting teacher as a one-year sabbatical replacement for the 2024-2025 school year. Collaboration within a dynamic Fine Arts department, creation of powerful learning experiences for a globally diverse student body, commitment to making a positive impact on the lives of adolescents through personal relationships, setting a positive tone, and treating students as individuals within the context of a broader community, are all critical components of this position.

This full-time member of the Upper School faculty teaches six sections of mixed-level classes of Drawing and Painting, and possibly other fine arts as well, with roughly 10 students in each class, and contributes to a large extra-curricular program. Additionally, it is understood that the successful candidate has a demonstrated commitment to work in an extraordinarily diverse and inclusive community, and possibly connect with our enriching residential program.

Cranbrook is a PK-12 school with a vibrant boarding component in grades 9-12, allowing the school to provide teachers with the opportunity to live and work on our architecturally famous 319-acre campus. Often living and working in our residence halls, faculty engage students and support their development as members of a shared community. Eagerness to live among students, and to engage them in the evenings and on the weekends as a part of an exciting residential program, is considered significantly beneficial.

Founded by Detroit philanthropists George and Ellen Booth in 1904, Cranbrook Educational Community is one of the world's leading centers of education, science, and art. Comprised of a graduate Academy of Art, contemporary Art Museum, Center for Collections and Research, House and Gardens, Institute of Science, and more than 1,600 students attending our Pre-K through 12 independent college preparatory Schools, Cranbrook welcomes thousands of visitors and students to its campus each year. Critics have called Cranbrook "the most enchanted and enchanting setting in America" and in 1989 it was designated a National Historic Landmark. The campus is located in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, about 20 miles north of downtown Detroit. For more, please visit our website: Employment | Cranbrook, and take an aerial tour of the campus.

Requirements:

This position requires a Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts or a related field, with an MFA strongly preferred. Enthusiasm for teaching and working with adolescents and excellent communication skills are expected for all teachers.

Cranbrook offers competitive compensation and benefits that include medical, dental, life insurance, long-term and short-term disability, and retirement programs with employer contribution.

Interested candidates must submit a curriculum vitae or resume, copies of undergraduate and graduate transcripts, statement of educational philosophy in relation to this position, and two or three letters of recommendation with contact information. Please be sure all documents are uploaded when you submit your application.
