The Walker School, Marietta, Georgia
At The Walker School, physics is more than formulas and problem sets. It is curiosity in motion, engineering in action, and a way of helping students understand and engage with the world around them.
We are seeking a dynamic Upper School Physics Teacher for the 2026–2027 school year who brings energy, creativity, and a deep love of physics and engineering into the classroom.

Strong candidates embrace student-centered classrooms, value relationships, and are eager to connect physics to authentic problem solving.
Walker faculty contribute to the full life of the school, and preference will be given to candidates interested in coaching our Upper School Robotics Team, participating in the Middle or Upper School athletic program, or sponsoring a major student organization.
What You Will Do
Teach upper school physics and engineering courses with creativity, rigor, and care
Serve as a grade-level advisor for approximately 10 to 15 students
Be available daily for student support and extra help
Participate in parent-teacher conferences and school events as required
