CFS seeks an engaging, energetic, involved and collaborative music faculty member to serve as choral director. We are looking for someone who has choral conducting experience, demonstrated mastery of piano and possesses a music or music education degree – a master’s degree is preferred. The ability to play the organ for Chapel services is a plus. This part-time position includes building and overseeing the Choir, as well as attending regular school meetings and faculty meetings.

The successful candidate will have a degree in music or music education, knowledge of and experience with high school choral programs and church choirs. All candidates should be adept in accompanying the Choir on piano. As Church Farm School continues to advance its 21st-century teaching and learning initiatives, the school seeks candidates who will help strengthen the integration of the Performing Arts with the Academic Curriculum and the greater world. Connecting our Choir to surrounding organizations through performances is a goal.
