Wichita Collegiate School (WCS), a thriving Independent School located in Wichita, KS, will add a passionate and dedicated Middle School art teacher to our team for the 2026-27 school year. Our Middle School Art Teacher will teach up to five sections of various art styles and modalities. Coursework may include 2D and 3D Art. Our Middle School Art Teacher will prepare and deliver engaging learning experiences aligned with the scope and sequence outlined by Wichita Collegiate School, and that spark curiosity in our students. In addition to teaching art classes, our new teacher may also advise a group of 10-15 students. 

Our teachers place students at the center of all teaching and learning to ensure the best educational experience for each student. They are willing to support WCS beyond the classroom with their time and talents to expand the student experience. Their curiosity for learning drives a commitment to professional growth, and they actively participate in school-led professional development activities (including faculty meetings). Collegiate educators share a commitment to doing whatever tasks are necessary to enhance the student experience. 

Our fine arts teachers come from diverse backgrounds but share a commitment to delivering high-quality instruction to students. This position requires a bachelor's degree in education or art; a graduate degree in art is preferred but not required. Three years of classroom experience is preferred; advanced education or relevant professional experience may substitute for classroom experience. 

At WCS, we value individual differences and foster opportunities for conversation, acceptance, and celebration of diverse cultures, belief systems, and backgrounds. Our teachers provide a supportive, collaborative learning environment for our students, take a forward-thinking approach to education, and challenge educational norms and explore new teaching methods.

Collegiate Educators share the following attributes:  
  • A commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. 
  • A commitment to equitable and culturally responsive teaching practices. 
  • A willingness to receive and incorporate feedback from colleagues, students, and parents/guardians.
  • A willingness to communicate with colleagues, students, and parents/guardians. 
  • A willingness to differentiate instruction, assessment, and feedback to students of all abilities. 
  • An excitement for creating a supportive, fun, and enriching classroom culture that reflects Wichita Collegiate School’s core values and teaching philosophy.
  • A curiosity for professional growth, development, and leadership opportunities.
  • A willingness to integrate technology as a tool for engaging students and enhancing instruction. 
  • A willingness for experiential/project-based learning and innovative thinking.
  • A commitment to meet essential expectations.
Collegiate Educators are expected to be on campus from August 1 through May 31. During the school year, school hours are 7:30 am to 4:30 pm; schedules vary by department and may require work beyond 4:30 pm. Faculty members are expected to participate in school activities to foster our sense of community, which may require evening and/or weekend hours.

U.S. Equal Opportunity Employment Information (Completion is voluntary)

We are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.

You are being given the opportunity to provide the following information in order to help us comply with federal and state Equal Employment Opportunity/Affirmative Action record keeping, reporting, and other legal requirements.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.
