About Us

Westfield is a private secondary school in North York undergoing a quiet but deliberate transformation. With a renewed academic vision, growing student base, and new leadership team, we're entering an expansion phase focused on academic depth, interdisciplinary learning, and select faculty partnerships.

We are a boutique school moving fast-and looking to collaborate with those who are excited to help build something with agility, vision, and the freedom to shape programs.

This is an ideal role for early-to-mid-career educators looking for:

• A fresh challenge without top-down policy constraints
• Creative freedom and interdisciplinary crossover
• A respected home base that rewards initiative and connectivity

The Opportunity

We're seeking a select few faculty members to join a high-trust academic team covering:

• Sciences (Gr. 9-12, emphasis on Biology and/or Chemistry)
• Business Studies (Gr. 11-12, Economics, International Business, Accounting)
• Arts (Gr. 9-12, Visual Arts, Media Arts, Communication & Technology)

Ideal candidates will have strength in at least one of the three domains, with openness to crossover or project-based integration.

We are especially interested in educators who are:

• Naturally collaborative, socially connected in the private school sector
• Comfortable leading signature electives or developing new AP-style offerings
• Thoughtful about pedagogy but not dogmatic-able to adapt quickly
• Curious about working in a growth-stage independent school

Why Join Westfield?

• Leadership in a Growth Phase: As a growing, agile independent school, Westfield offers real faculty voice and a chance to help shape new programs, systems, and traditions.
• Career Trajectory: Faculty who grow with the school have historically moved into leadership roles, from program coordinators to assistant dean positions. We reward those who build.
• Resume-Defining Authorship: While compensation is competitive, we know many educators also value being part of something in motion. What you help co-create at Westfield will be yours to claim.

Educators who grow with Westfield have the opportunity to:

• Earn internal promotion into new academic leadership roles as we scale (e.g., Dean of Senior School, Curriculum Director)
• Shape flagship programs in AP, interdisciplinary electives, and international student mentorship
• Lead pilot initiatives that reflect your own expertise-entrepreneurship, biotech, media arts, etc.
• Gain regional recognition as faculty are showcased in outreach, events, and national partnerships

Key Responsibilities

• Design and deliver engaging lessons aligned with the Ontario curriculum across the following subjects: Business, Science, and/or Arts
• Implement a variety of assessment strategies informed by Growing Success and tailored to diverse student needs
• Actively contribute to curriculum development and academic planning as part of a collaborative interdisciplinary team
• Maintain accurate student records and reports using digital platforms (e.g., Edsembli, Schoology)
• Foster a high-expectation classroom culture that supports academic growth, personal integrity, and intellectual independence
• Participate in co-curricular programs, events, and student life initiatives (e.g., clubs, arts showcases, business case competitions)
• Engage in professional learning and share best practices with peers, helping to shape the future of our academic programs
• Attend school events and represent the faculty at community-facing functions (e.g., open houses, info nights, academic showcases)
• Embrace opportunities to lead or co-lead pilot programs, new initiatives, and interdisciplinary collaborations
• Support Westfield's mission as a growth-phase institution, helping define its culture, standards, and identity from the ground up

Qualifications & Requirements

• Passion for education and a genuine commitment to supporting student success
• Ontario College of Teachers (OCT) Certification
• 1-3 years of teaching experience preferred (exceptional early-career candidates will also be considered)
• Strong technology background and comfort using digital teaching tools
• High level of creativity in lesson design, assessment methods, and instructional strategies
• Experience interpreting and applying Ontario Ministry of Education guidelines, particularly Growing Success
• Experience working with students both in-person and online is an asset
• Familiarity with Schoology, Edsembli, or similar school platforms is an asset
