Graphic Arts Instructor 2024 – 2025 Academic Year

Located in the beautiful Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island, Brentwood College School is committed to making our school the best place to learn and work. As one of the top boarding high schools in North America, we offer a vibrant culture, competitive compensation, a diverse student body, and an absolutely stunning oceanfront campus. Our Admissions motto is #choosetobe and this applies to our faculty as well.

Your Opportunity:

Do you love being part of a dynamic and creative learning environment? Are you accredited or able to become accredited to teach arts classes in the Province of British Columbia at a high school level? Arts instructors with a Letter of Permission are also encouraged to apply.

This is a permanent part-time position teaching 2 blocks of Graphic Arts at the secondary level. Our spectacularly beautiful and innovative Arts and Humanities Centre allows for a multidisciplinary space to learn, create and work collaboratively. You will love coming to work to teach your Arts blocks on Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons each week allowing you time to pursue your craft with other opportunities.

You will be working alongside colleagues who are dedicated to supporting a positive student learning experience, from classroom to studio to athletic venue to boarding house. Your innovative nature will be supported as you create authentic learning opportunities for your students. Our faculty team works with students who are interested in learning and see a future that includes their skills and ideas. If you can see yourself working at a school where each student is contributing in academics, connecting to their passion in the arts and competing athletically wearing the school insignia, all while living away from home, Brentwood could be the community you’ve been looking for.

Working at Brentwood is not like working at a typical school. Because we have more than 80% of our students as boarders, we take on the duty and privilege of creating a home away from home. We have a tripartite system, where academics, arts, and athletics are all valued and an expectation for all students. Our unique schedule allows for more options for our students, meaning more options for our faculty. And can we talk about the food? Our Food Services Team is famous for creating delicious and diverse meals, all enjoyed while looking out over the ocean towards Mt. Baker.

Your Qualifications and Experience:

• BC teaching certification or Letter or Permission to instruct studio arts classes
• Experience as a fine arts educator (institutional, community–based or private), and ideally, teaching studio art classes in a high school environment
• Familiarity with Grade 9 -12 BC Art curriculum an asset
• Familiarity with all facets of graphic arts including Adobe Creative Suite: Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign, as well as other creative graphic design software
