Join a Community That Invests in Children—and in You

At The Woods Academy, we believe the most meaningful education begins with exceptional teachers. Every day, our faculty and staff inspire students to grow in faith, character, knowledge, and purpose—preparing them not only for academic success, but to lead lives of significance.

As an inclusive Catholic school serving students from Montessori through Grade 8, we are committed to creating a community where every child is known, challenged, and loved. We know that kind of environment is only possible when our educators feel the same. That's why we invest in our faculty through a collaborative culture, supportive leadership, engaged families, professional growth opportunities, competitive benefits, and a workplace where relationships truly matter.

Our beautiful Bethesda campus is home to a close-knit community of caring colleagues, curious students, and families who value partnership. If you are passionate about making a lasting difference in the lives of children while continuing to grow personally and professionally, we invite you to explore a career at The Woods Academy.

The Woods Academy is committed to fostering a welcoming and inclusive community and is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate the unique gifts and perspectives of every member of our community and seek educators who will help us continue to build a culture of belonging, excellence, and respect.
