Be part of a vibrant Hotchkiss community

Located in the scenic Berkshire-Taconic landscape in the quiet northwest corner of Connecticut, The Hotchkiss School is a community in which faculty and staff members build careers and grow as professionals. We seek to identify, recruit, and develop faculty and staff members who bring a diversity of experiences, perspectives, talents, and backgrounds. Collectively, we are dedicated to supporting the intellectual, social, and emotional growth of 600 students who come from around the country and the world.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

We know that students perform better and achieve more when they have access to teachers, advisors, and school leaders who look like they do. We also know that all students perform better when learning from diverse faculty, among diverse peers. Hotchkiss is committed to developing innovative hiring strategies in order to attract and retain the most capable faculty and staff, including the best teachers of color.

Understanding and Combating Implicit Bias

All Hotchkiss employees receive training in anti-racism and the unconscious stereotyping known as implicit bias. Implicit bias is grounded in cultural perspective and experience, and it exists within all of us. Our biases affect our assumptions, actions, and decisions, and they can have a significant impact on those around us.

By working in partnership with outside experts in the field, Hotchkiss is creating a comprehensive training and professional learning plan that will enable the school to train faculty and staff to recognize implicit bias and deepen their understanding of the ways implicit bias affects school culture. We will strengthen our community by committing to ongoing training and learning.

Review and Assessment of Institutional Policies

Working in partnership with external experts, Hotchkiss has undertaken a comprehensive review of policies and materials including disciplinary protocols, the student handbook, and the employee handbook. Materials have been updated with clear regulations with respect to discrimination and racism.

Members of the Community Conduct Council, which investigates potential infractions of the Code of Ethical Conduct, including harassment and discrimination, have participated in professional development focused on the investigative process.

Affinity Support for Employees of Color at Peer Schools

Just as students of color benefit from being around peers who look like they do, so do adults. The experience of being an adult of color, or a family of color, on a primarily white campus can be isolating. Beginning in 2021, Hotchkiss will host social/networking gatherings for BIPOC faculty at Hotchkiss and other boarding schools in the region.

By creating a meaningful network for BIPOC professionals, we strengthen the community in which we want top professionals to teach, mentor, and raise their families. More than that, we strengthen the community for every member of every color.
