McLean School (mcleanschool.org), a K-12 co-educational independent school in Potomac, Maryland, seeks a dynamic, full- or part-time Grades 9-12 AP Physics 1 & 2, and AP Computer Science Teacher for the 2026-2027 school year. This position is responsible for delivering high-quality, college-preparatory STEM instruction while fostering an inclusive, supportive, and academically rigorous classroom environment.

McLean's mission - and its unique Abilities Model - embraces the idea that everyone has a unique learning path waiting to be discovered and tended toward growth. McLean places students at the center of the content and structure of their education, it deploys the skills of talented and expert teachers, provides a pedagogy that is both flexible in approach and academically rigorous, and delivers this to students in a supportive, inclusive culture that unlocks each student's core potential.

Bright, college-bound students with dyslexia, ADHD, academic performance anxiety, and executive functioning challenges thrive at McLean as their confidence and self-advocacy skills grow.

McLean students graduate as proud and capable learners, able to recognize and embrace their unique abilities, and advocate for what they need to learn, enabling them to find their way successfully in the world.
