Eastside Community School is nestled on five acres in the Sammamish Plateau area of Issaquah, WA. We serve students from Preschool through Grade 10, with a Parent & Child class for those just beginning their journey in Waldorf Education. We seek a Grades Substitute Teacher for the 2023-24 school year. Be our newest colleague!
With a broad, rich, and diverse curriculum and specially trained teachers, ECS supports the development of our students— ethically, intellectually, socially, physically, spiritually, and artistically. By understanding, respecting, and nurturing each distinct phase of childhood, we inspire a genuine, lifelong love of learning. At the most basic level, we believe that the world is good and beautiful. The qualities we cultivate in our students and community reflect a positive, hope-filled approach to education. Working as a team is embraced, while we honor our differences and individuality.
We are proud to be inspired by Waldorf Education, a worldwide movement that began in 1919. This approach nurtures the natural joy that children take in learning with lessons not simply based on repetition and memorization, but experienced through immersive, hands-on participation. Each school year is designed to meet children’s evolving aptitude for experiences and social interactions.
