Cannon School seeks a dynamic and student-centered Upper School Math Teacher to join our community beginning August 2026. We are looking for an experienced educator who can teach a range of high school mathematics courses, including Geometry through Precalculus, with the ability to teach Statistics and/or Calculus considered a plus.
The ideal candidate embraces innovative instructional practices, values strong relationships with students, and is committed to creating meaningful, engaging, and developmentally appropriate learning experiences.

Cannon School is a JrK through Grade 12 independent school located in the greater Charlotte area. In the twenty years that we have been at our present location, the physical campus has grown to include new facilities for performing arts, athletics, language labs and makerspaces. Cannon recently adopted a new strategic design with five commitments centered around community and belongingness; students; educators; wellness; and sustainability. In the teaching and learning process, we hold a philosophical commitment to autonomy, inquiry, and mastery among other habits known as Adaptive Expertise. Cannon is a strong and relational community, and we believe that taking care of others is as important as learning about self.
