Administrative Candidates

Complete this application if you are pursuing an administrative job in a private/independent school. ST Search will have great job opportunities around the country!

Non-Administrative Candidates/Teaching Candidates

Apply directly for jobs at private/independent schools around the country on the ST Teacher Job Board.

If you are seeking a teaching job, please do not submit the ST application here.

What happens next?

After submitting your application, we will review your candidacy promptly. If we can assist your job search, then your assigned placement counselor will notify you and provide details about your online account.

You will arrange an interview (either over the phone or in person) with your ST placement counselor to discuss the specific parameters of your search.  We want to know your interests, talents, goals, and personality. We will also discuss your desired geography, types of schools, and extracurriculars.

Credentials File

At this point, you can begin assembling a credentials file that we will send to schools that match your search.  This includes your resume, letters of recommendation, official transcripts from your degree programs, and, if applicable, copies of your teacher certification.  You will be able to upload these documents yourself after your application has been accepted.

Your counselor will help you for the duration of your search, maintaining steady communication to discern the best opportunities based on your interests and talents.

Video Resume

While it’s entirely optional, we strongly encourage you to send us a video resume. Your chances of obtaining an interview with a school are dramatically increased by presenting a polished video resume alongside your traditional credentials file.

We can film your video here in our Charlottesville office, or you can make one at home.  More important than your skills as a videographer, though, is that the digital product emphatically convey your enthusiasm for your subject and—especially important—for working with K-12 students.
