TEACHING AT SEACOAST ACADEMY
In October 2002, a small group of individuals met at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Portsmouth to explore the possibility of founding an independent Episcopal school in the Seacoast region. Creating this small, intimate, independent middle school –where academic excellence, community service and vigorous discourse and learning about all religions will be our three foundations –has captured the hearts and souls of the founding board. Seacoast Academy seeks to hire teachers willing to join the trustees and contribute their excitement, energy and teamwork in order to fulfill the Mission of Seacoast Academy. For teachers with enthusiasm and creativity, this will be an extraordinary opportunity to leave a lasting legacy in the Seacoast.
