Employer Description
 
Waynflete’s mission is to engage the imagination and intellect of our students, to guide them toward self-governance and self-knowledge, and to encourage their responsible and caring participation in the world. Since its founding in 1898 by Agnes Lowell and Caroline Crisfield, Waynflete has been devoted to progressive thought, inclusive community, deep rapport between students and teachers, and a rigorous and developmentally-informed program. Situated in Portland’s historic West End, the school’s campus houses a vibrant learning community committed to reflective engagement, authentic discourse, and genuine self-discovery. In its hiring practices, Waynflete deliberately seeks to maximize the diversity of the school

Portland is a vibrant city in coastal Maine, highly regarded for its arts community and progressive mindset. Portland affords many of the opportunities of bigger cities, but on a liveable scale. Its motto, “Resurgam” (I will rise again), illustrates the spirit of the city, and in effect, of Waynflete—a place of reinvention. Portland’s ethic of resurgence is especially apt in these challenging times of pandemic teaching.

Diversity Mission Statement
 

Waynflete’s commitment to anti-racist teaching has become a key component of our mission to support the growth and self-expression of each of our community members. Our entire school community—students, families, employees, and trustees—is actively engaged in both personal and institutional reflection and action steps focused on diversity, equity, inclusion, and anti-racism. We both provide and have an expectation of ongoing professional development related to becoming anti-racist educators.
