About Albemarle County Public Schools

We are an educator in Albemarle County Public Schools, a division where students are engaged in authentic, challenging, and relevant learning experiences. Our mission is to work together as a team to end the predictive value of race, class, gender, and special capacities for our children's success through high-quality teaching and learning for all. We seek to build relationships with families and communities to ensure that every student succeeds.

We are the first public school division in Virginia, and among the first in the country, to develop and implement an Anti-Racism policy. Our expressed purpose is to build school communities that share the responsibility to recognize and end racism, eliminate inequitable practices that result in achievement gaps, and support the unique gifts, talents, and interests of every child. In ACPS, "all" really means all.

We are looking for teachers and specialists who are essential to achieving our goals of Thriving Students, Affirming and Empowering Communities, and Equitable, Transformative Resources. Our ideal candidates are innovative, self-reflective, collaborative, and knowledgeable in their content area and instructional practices. We seek those who are passionate about closing equity and achievement gaps and are prepared to engage with our Culturally Responsive Teaching model in support of our Equity Mission Statement.

Why Join Our Team

Educators choose to join our team for the strong instructional support and mentoring provided by building administrators, instructional coaches, learning technology integrators, diversity resource teachers, and equity specialists. We offer a wide range of professional development opportunities, including our New Teacher Academy and many other learning experiences held throughout the year for new and experienced teachers. You will have the opportunity to work in a close-knit, supportive community where you can continue to grow as a professional.
