The Waldorf School of Santa Barbara is seeking a First Grade Teacher for the 2024-25 school year. The ideal candidate will have a Waldorf teaching certificate, a bachelor’s degree, classroom experience in a Waldorf school, a deep commitment to serving the children, and a warm-hearted spirit ready to engage with parents and colleagues. WSSB offers a competitive salary and benefits, including medical, dental, and retirement, tuition remission, and professional development. Salary is based on education and experience.
Founded in 1984, our school is located on a large, beautiful campus, nestled between the Santa Ynez Mts. and the Pacific Ocean, with daily access to parkland next door and the many hiking trails to be found in nearby wilderness areas. Santa Barbara is a beautiful place to live, with its year-round mild, Mediterranean climate and sandy beaches, its friendly community of people from all walks of life, its small town feel, and its cultural calendar that hosts a number of first class music and theater events, including the annual Santa Barbara International Film Festival. We are only 1.5 hours from Los Angeles in case you enjoy an occasional jaunt to the city! And if you have any surfers in your family, the town next door hosts the Rincon Classic Annual Surf Competition.
We anticipate a class of fifteen vibrant, first grade-ready children.
The Waldorf School of Santa Barbara serves children from Early Childhood through Eighth Grade, and offers a rich Parent-Child Program.
