Our Process
At West Point Grey Academy, we use a structured, competency-based hiring process to create consistency, reduce bias, and focus on what matters most—teaching practice, reflection, and contribution to our school community. The process is designed to give candidates choice while ensuring fairness, and to identify educators who will be successful and supported at WPGA.
If you require accommodations to fully participate in our process, please contact .
1. Screening
At West Point Grey Academy, we value both teaching excellence and the unique strengths each educator brings. To support a fair and human process, you’ll answer three open-ended prompts from three clusters (Teaching & Learning, Learning Environment, and Community & Professionalism). This will allow you to highlight areas of authentic strength while ensuring breadth across core competencies. Your responses will be reviewed without identifiers to mitigate bias in this first assessment stage.
Use of AI is permitted, but please add a one-line note at the end of each response confirming use of AI and stating how you ensured authenticity. Briefly note why you selected these three questions. You can answer the questions on the form provided, or submit your responses on a single document and upload your file.
2. Initial Conversation (30 minutes)
Successful candidates selected to move forward in the process will be contacted to arrange an informal conversation. This is your opportunity to interview us—you will be able to ask your questions about the school and the role.
3. Authentic Belonging Interview (min 1 hour)
If successful, you will progress to final interviews, where we will discuss how your teaching practice aligns with WPGA’s expectations, and how you could contribute to our school.
