Tabor Academy
Marion, Massachusetts, Position Summary: Tabor Academy seeks a compelling and passionate music educator as a temporary, part-time leave replacement in Fall 2026 to teach two sections of Choral Music.
Tabor’s Arts Programming offers students the chance to develop as whole people – through opportunities for personal expression that promote healthy development and well-being, as well as through the teaching and honing of discipline-specific skills.
