Teach in New York City Area
Independent Schools

Independent School Placement recruits teachers and administrators for placement in independent schools in New York City, its suburbs, and New Jersey.

We charge our applicants NO FEE of any kind for registration; our placement fee is paid by the schools.

At ISP we match a candidate with specific school openings. Therefore, we require a personal interview with each candidate we represent, instead of relying on a routine fill-in-the-blank application form. We ask about the candidate's education, experience, and interests. At the same time we describe and answer questions about the schools' programs and learning environments.

Schools see our candidates because they know we interview everyone we represent and make thoughtful recommendations that save them valuable time.
