• Substitute Teachers

  Hopkins School, an independent, co-educational, college-preparatory day school in New Haven, Connecticut, with over 700 students in grades 7-12, has a regular need for substitute teachers for all subjects. Needs arise regularly on a per diem basis with an occasional need extending for a longer-term. 

   

  Substitute teaching opportunities can become available at quite short notice. The remuneration is $25/class and the preparation is minimal. As the need and preparation extends, compensation will increase. 
  
  

  A bachelor's degree in a related field is required and secondary school teaching experience is preferred but not required. Candidates with post-secondary teaching experience will be considered.
