Pembroke Hill seeks to be one of the finest independent schools in the
nation. It is the goal of the school to provide a strong college
preparatory program from which each student will develop a personal
commitment to learning, a respect for independent thinking and an
expanding curiosity about the world and its people.
The school
is committed to maintaining a diverse and gifted faculty. At Pembroke
Hill, teachers provide essential input in planning and implementing the
programs we offer. Collaboration with colleagues is a necessary element
in helping teachers fulfill their responsibilities. The pursuit of
excellence is a cooperative process grounded in respect for others in an
inclusive environment. Therefore, the school seeks educators who share
these values.
There are many opportunities for faculty and staff
to participate in decision making at Pembroke Hill. For example,
standing committees include: diversity, curriculum, student life,
principal’s cabinets and faculty/staff relations. Examples of ad hoc
committees include ones that study a specific topic, such as employee
benefits, teacher recruitment or a particular discipline.
Professional
development of our teachers is an important aspect of continuing to
provide the finest education to our students. Funds are available to
teachers for advanced college and university classes, workshops and
conferences. Teachers have attended programs in the Reggio Emillia
early education program, counseling conferences, People of Color
Conference and an archeological dig in the Southwest. The school also
brings education experts to campus for faculty in-service days.
The
Alumni Association sponsors a grant program that enables faculty to
undertake summer projects that are personally and professionally
rewarding. Teachers are responsible for researching these opportunities
and submitting grant applications.
Pembroke Hill is an equal opportunity employer.
