University School of Nashville is seeking a K-12 Director of Experiential Learning with experience and expertise in deepening the connections between classroom learning and the world beyond USN by providing students more hands on, authentic learning experiences that are imbued with an ethic of inclusion and community engagement through the core academic program of the school.
The Director of Experiential Learning will provide leadership and vision in the ongoing planning, implementation, development, direction, review and evaluation of global experiences, community engagement, and experiential partnerships. This role will require collaboration with faculty to integrate and connect the experiences for their students.
This is a full-time position for the 2025-2026 school year. Responsibilities include collaborating with divisional leadership, partnering with faculty and staff across K-12, building programming that aligns with USN’s strategic plan, supporting student organizations, advising a group of 8-10 high school students, and actively participating in the life of the school.
USN has a deep commitment to equitable and just community spaces. Candidates should be knowledgeable of research on how implicit biases in race, ethnicity, gender identity and socioeconomic class can shape curricula and pedagogy, classroom culture, and student outcomes. Candidates should be able to translate that knowledge into demonstrable actions that promote equitable and just teaching and learning.
The School
University School of Nashville is an independent, non-sectarian, co-educational day school with enrollment of 1,080 students kindergarten through twelfth grade. In 1915, the George Peabody College for Teachers opened Peabody Demonstration School (PDS), USN’s predecessor, which earned acclaim for its curriculum and faculty. In 1974, Peabody College announced plans to close PDS, and a group of parents, alumni, students, and teachers reconstituted and re-chartered the school as University School of Nashville.
USN’s midtown location adjacent to Vanderbilt University and its Peabody College for Teachers reminds us each day of our beginnings 110 years ago in the demonstration school culture of innovation and educational best practices. It’s a vibrant academic community for both students and teachers in the midst of a dynamic city.
In the USN community, students expect much of each other, and the faculty benefits from that high standard. We seek educators who are enthusiastic about their learning to complement their teaching, and we offer many opportunities for professional growth. USN is committed to creating an institutional environment that mirrors the cultural and ethnic composition of greater Nashville. USN encourages a diverse applicant pool and provides equal employment opportunities for employees and job applicants.
