Gilman School
Baltimore, Maryland

The Association of Independent Maryland Schools is host a job fair to find students interested in teaching in independent schools. Independent schools are private, non-profit, elementary, and secondary schools governed by a Board of Trustees. Independent school teachers experience a personal, family-like work environment, a sense of community, high academic expectations, and highly motivated students.

There are opportunities to shape courses and curriculum and a chance to affect the
development of young people through work in and out of the classroom. There are
small classes and few problems with discipline. Each independent school admits
students who will benefit most from its program.

Salary compensation, benefits, teaching load, schedule, and extra assignments will vary
with each school. Skills, interests, and talents beyond specific teaching credentials may
be important.

Independent private schools are particularly interested in promoting diversity in
teaching and administrative positions. All schools are equal opportunity employers.

For more information visit the AIMS homepage at www.aimsmd.org or call (410) 761-3700.
