Admission is granted via an annual blind public lottery open to all Boston residents.

Our community reflects the vibrant diversity of Boston, with families representing over 20 countries and speaking more than 20 languages at home. 98% of our students are people of color. We are prepared to serve a wide range of needs, with 23% of students qualifying for special education services and 19% identified as English Language Learners.

Match's core values are Equity, Freedom, Teamwork, Innovation, and Accountability. We are actively reframing our organizational processes and policies to be truly anti-racist. We believe that a staff diverse by race and other factors, an inclusive professional environment, and a culturally competent curriculum are vital to achieving our mission.

About the Role

We are seeking a Middle School Science Teacher to join our team for the 2026-2027 school year. Based at our Jamaica Plain Campus (215 Forest Hills St.), you will teach up to four middle school science classes while upholding high academic and behavioral expectations. This role is designed for educators who provide robust support to help students meet these standards.

Beyond the classroom, you will actively participate in Match's coaching and professional development programming. You will also assist with school programming as needed during non-instructional time, serving as a positive and collaborative member of the Match community. We are looking for candidates who believe all students can and will succeed and who are eager to continually improve their practice through feedback.

Hiring Process & Application

We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification listed or if you have a less traditional background. Research shows that people of color and women are often less likely to apply if they feel they must meet every requirement; our priority is finding the best candidate for the job.

Application Requirements:

• You must have current US work authorization.
• You must meet teacher certification requirements set by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, or be able to meet them within a year of your date of hire.
