Georgetown Visitation, founded in 1799, is an all-girls high school rooted in the Roman Catholic faith and Salesian tradition, committed to educating young women from diverse backgrounds. We are a faith-centered community dedicated to educational excellence, enriched by co-curricular and service programs. We guide our students as they integrate the search for truth with the pursuit of knowledge and dedicate their God-given gifts to making the world a better place.
Visitation is currently searching for a full-time science teacher for the 2026 - 2027 school year. The ideal candidate is energetic and is eager to educate and guide young women at this critical time in their lives, as well as to collaborate closely with department colleagues to create an excellent, comprehensive, and cohesive science program at the school. Additionally, candidates should possess a clear vision for what success at high levels of science requires and be able to challenge talented young women to grow in critical thinking and creative problem solving as well as implement teaching methods that serve diverse learning styles.

Experience with College Board Advanced Placement (AP) coursework is required. In addition to teaching, faculty also attend school-wide events and regular departmental and faculty meetings. A bachelor’s degree in a related field is required; a master’s degree is preferred.
