Employment
Founded in 1932 in a tradition of Progressive education that is strongly upheld today, The Miquon School is an independent, coeducational elementary school just outside Philadelphia for children in Nursery through the 6th grade.
Miquon is dedicated to preserving childhood, using innovative student-centered teaching practices, and developing children’s knowledge of and appreciation for the environment.

We value independent thinking, varied individual and collaborative approaches to learning, authentic assessment methods, and creative, child-focused approaches to curriculum development.
A community that is diverse along ethnic, economic, and religious lines, Miquon seeks applicants who represent and broaden that diversity.
