Join our team

We would love to get to know you and to share more with you about what it’s like to work as part of the Schechter community.

We are one extraordinary team

Work at Schechter

We’re proud to be named a Boston Globe Top Place to Work—but more than the title, it’s the feeling here that stands out. Schechter is a community where educators are seen, celebrated, and supported at every stage of their journey.

Why you'll love it here

You’ll grow professionally

  • Dedicated Director of Learning & Teaching to support your craft

  • Small team structures for real-time coaching and peer learning

  • Tuition remission and teacher certification bonuses

  • Ongoing professional development, with time and support to try new ideas

You’ll be part of a school that leads with heart

We’re a pluralistic Jewish day school where every child—from 15 months through Grade 8—is deeply known. Teachers are key to that. Here, relationships matter. Passion fuels learning. And kids leave their print on everything they explore.

Our culture? Curious, kind, and always improving

We live by these values every day:

  • Believe there’s no limit to better

  • Provide honest and kind feedback

  • Fail forward

  • Lean into complexity

  • Be kinder than necessary

You’ll be well cared for—inside and out

  • Harvard Pilgrim health insurance + Blue Cross/Blue Shield

  • Dental, vision, and life insurance

  • Generous time off (Jewish + secular holidays, plus vacation and personal time)

  • Teacher wellness support + mental health resources

  • JCC gym discount (yes, really)

You’ll build financial security

  • 403(b) with up to 5% employer match

  • Dependent Care and Health FSAs

  • Long-term disability coverage

You’ll be part of a team that truly works together

Our structure reflects our priorities: great teaching, meaningful mentorship, and time to connect with colleagues. We believe educator growth fuels student growth—and we’ve built our systems to prove it.

Getting here is easy

Schechter is accessible by public transportation via NewMo, a Newton-sponsored ride-share service that connects directly from:

  • Newtonville Station (Worcester Line)

  • Needham Heights Station (Needham Line)

  • Chestnut Hill & Newton Highlands (MBTA Green Line D)

Just $2 a ride to our Wells Avenue campus.

You’re welcome here

Schechter Boston is an equal opportunity employer. We’re committed to building a diverse and inclusive community—where everyone is respected, supported, and empowered to grow.
