Now Hiring

The Burkard School is hiring exceptional people who want to make a real difference in children’s lives!

Message to Out-of-State Teachers

Are you a passionate educator who believes that classrooms should be spaces of curiosity, inclusivity, and free thought? Are you tired of being told what books your students can’t read, what words you can’t say, and what truths you can’t teach?

At The Burkard School in the San Francisco Bay Area, we celebrate diversity, intellectual curiosity, and kindness — not just in theory, but in practice. Here, you won’t be asked to remove a poster that says Everyone is Welcome. You won’t be forced to erase history, censor ideas, or deny students the opportunity to learn about themselves and the world around them.

We are a small, independent K-8 school serving bright, neurodiverse students who need extra support with self-regulation, executive functioning, and social-emotional learning. Our teachers are empowered to bring their full selves to the classroom, fostering critical thinking, creativity, and a deep love of learning in students who thrive with the right support.

If you’re ready to teach with integrity, lead with heart, and inspire without limits, we invite you to join us. Come to the Bay Area and teach in a place where education is about opening minds—not closing them.

Now hiring passionate educators who believe in the power of knowledge, inclusivity, and human dignity.
