Employment at TPS

Founded in 1972, The Philadelphia School is a progressive, nonsectarian independent school educating children from preschool through eighth grade.

Our teaching and administrative staff are a close community of educators with varied interests that find expression inside and outside the classrooms; we are athletes, environmentalists, actors, storytellers, musicians, naturalists, artists, writers, and avid readers, to list a few passions.

Our child-centered, progressive philosophy encourages classrooms filled with discovery-based, hands-on learning experiences. Opportunities for professional growth and development, both institutional and individual, are available and encouraged as teachers continue to refine their craft and grow in the profession.
