Jobs - Wellesley Private Girls School

At Dana Hall, faculty and staff know our students, and we appreciate them and their diversity of experiences.

Nothing about Dana Hall — the classrooms, the athletic fields, the dorms — is impersonal or detached from life. Our community’s size allows us to truly interact with each other, in large and small ways. We value our students’ intellect as much as their social/emotional well-being, and we enjoy working together as a community to provide young women with countless opportunities to explore the world, test themselves, and make crucial discoveries about who they are, what inspires them, and where they will go next.

What I love about Dana Hall is the number of different hats I may wear on any given day: teacher, advisor, dorm parent, class dean, colleague — and the list goes on. We are charged with not just building students but young people who will go out in the world and be leaders amongst their peers."Jake McShaneScience Teacher
