Here’s what our teachers are saying about their working experience:

Here at Hawbridge, I’ve found the flexibility, autonomy, respect, and trust I’ve always needed to teach my students in a developmentally appropriate way. I’m so thankful I gave this place a shot before leaving teaching forever – I have found my spark again! –-Dani Moore, Kindergarten Teacher

I love the appreciation the staff show to one another. –Ali Miller, Lower School Office Manager

Hawbridge allows teachers to incorporate the outdoors and arts into their teaching. Theatre is a big part of my life outside of school.  Our school has access to a lovely outdoor amphitheater.   I enjoy being outside and using my interests and talents in the classroom. –Lora Wilder, Second Grade Teacher

The school respects my expertise, supports my teaching, and minimizes the demands on my time. I’m part of a community that strives to be a place of welcome for everyone. I’ve been here more than a decade and can‘t imagine going anywhere else. — Jonathan Farmer, Upper School English Teacher

Hawbridge is a part of a greater community, and we treat it as such. We are empowered to learn and teach in the ways that work best for every one of us.   –Alexander Underwood, Fourth Grade Teacher

Hawbridge inspires me to be a more intentional, creative teacher. Place based learning happens so naturally with our diverse and committed community members and outdoor learning spaces. –Katie Ballard, First Grade Teacher
