Hackley School is more than a workplace  —  it’s a vibrant community where faculty and staff feel deeply connected through shared values, collaboration and a strong sense of purpose.

At Hackley, educators are committed to nurturing the whole child through engaging learning experiences that foster independent thinking and extend beyond traditional classroom boundaries. Our supportive environment encourages meaningful relationships and lifelong growth for both students and adults.

Through our commitment to inclusivity, scholarship, character and learning from diverse perspectives, we cultivate a collaborative culture where every individual contributes meaningfully to the success of our students and the School.

Athletic Coach

On-Call Substitute Teacher

Hackley as Home

On this Hilltop, colleagues become lifelong friends, alumni can return years later and find familiar corners of campus and friendly faces, and students gather to enjoy each other’s company. Hackley is a place where faculty and staff entrust their own children to experience the special community that defines the School. It is a cherished home for generations of families. We asked community members who hold multiple roles on the Hilltop to reflect on what “Hackley as Home” means to them.

Associate Teacher Program

Associate Teachers (ATs) hired to work in Hackley’s Lower School support the differentiated model that we endorse as a School. ATs may range from a recent college graduate to someone who is working on or has already received their master’s degree. Our Associate Teachers are placed with Lead Teachers who offer guidance, understanding and partnership. Collegiality, collaboration and community spirit are expectations of all members of the faculty and are modeled in the relationship between Leads and Associates. 

The Associate Teacher Program is considered to be a teacher training program in that all ATs are expected to work toward becoming a Lead Teacher and seek to gain the skill set to be highly effective in this role, whether at Hackley or elsewhere.
