School Overview
Why teach at King David High School?
At King David High School, our approach to learning is through creating active, relevant opportunities and experiences that encourage our students to question, be curious, push themselves and look for creative solutions. It is through higher-level thinking and problem-solving that students grow and develop skills and habits that will carry them throughout their futures. We are looking for people who enjoy working with adolescents, who enjoy learning themselves and who want to have fun while they work.
Our Mission, Vision and Values
King David is Vancouver’s only Jewish secondary school. Our vision is to be a dynamic leader in empowering Jewish minds and engaging Jewish hearts for the modern world. To allow our students to grow and thrive now and as adults we provide a learning experience founded in Jewish values, within an engaging, challenging and supportive academic environment that is also rich in extracurricular, leadership and volunteer opportunities.
The Community
We’re located in Metro Vancouver close to Oakridge Mall and amenities that include fitness centres, golf courses, UBC, grocery stores and more. Just 100 meters from the Canada Line and on major bus routes from downtown, our location provides easy access to neighbourhoods and communities across the Lower Mainland.
School Community
Teachers at King David are members of a family. Our faculty support one another in all aspects of their work and understand the value of maintaining a collegial environment that is safe and inclusive. Our administration supports teachers to grow, learn and take risks. Moreover, as a small school, we are better able to connect with one another and form authentic working relationships.
Lifestyle and Recreational Opportunities
People are attracted by the promise of the Vancouver West Coast lifestyle – and the gorgeous and nearby mountains and beautiful ocean contribute to an active life. Nothing beats the West Coast!
You can participate in fitness and outdoor activities, cultural events, shopping, dining, easy access to the US and the best climate in Canada.
Vancouver’s calling card is its beautiful location and its focus as a hub of healthy living – outdoor activities, yoga and a healthy attitude. It is a “slower” bigger city, so for those that love city life, but also appreciate life balance, Vancouver is the place to be.
