Our Hiring Process
Why Two Rivers?
We believe in nurturing the whole child. We believe that character and community are as important as curriculum. We believe in seeing, respecting and celebrating our commonalities and our differences.
We are Two Rivers.
Our Approach
Two Rivers is a network of EL Education schools, which means teaching and learning are centered around project-based, hands-on work that results in deeper learning outcomes. By situating learning in the context of authentic, complex problems, students come to understand the interdisciplinary nature of our world. They learn content and skills within real-world contexts that drive them to research, read, write, and create for a purpose that matters. We have two elementary and one middle school on two campuses.

We are an equal opportunity employer and encourage applications from people of different backgrounds, including people of color and people of diverse gender identities.
