Our nationally-recognized faculty members are extremely knowledgeable in their academic disciplines and devoted to the art of teaching. More than teachers, faculty members are connected to all aspects of student life. They coach, mentor, advise and sponsor. Over seventy-five percent of the faculty holds advanced degrees and the average tenure is 14 years.

Excellent educators from throughout the U.S. and with diverse backgrounds, our faculty connect classroom ideas with real-world experiences. Through a comprehensive professional development program, faculty continue to grow in their insight and knowledge, benefiting all students and modeling active lifetime learning. Whether through experiential instruction, one-on-one tutoring, or hands-on laboratory experimentation, Country Day teachers combine the best of established methodologies with instructional innovation and creativity to seek the most effective ways to work with their students.

Salaries for teachers at Fort Worth Country Day School rank as some of the highest in NAIS. Country Day is committed to remaining competitive with national and regional faculty salaries. Teachers are paid for extra duties and coaching assignments. All teachers are expected to teach five classes and do two extra activities. Merit pay increases are determined by the division heads and the headmaster and are incorporated into the yearly salary increase.

Beyond the salary stated above, full time teachers and staff receive a complete benefits package. This includes a 403-B retirement plan, a health insurance program, life insurance and long-term disability insurance, as well as a cafeteria plan for un-reimbursed expenses. Faculty wishing to have their children attend Country Day are invited to apply for admissions and if necessary, for need-based financial aid as determined by School Scholarship Service (SSS).

Each year the school sets aside over $100,000 for faculty development. Faculty and staff attend conferences, seminars, or visit places of educational interest using these funds. For those full time teachers who wish to pursue advanced degrees, the school has established the Advanced Degree Loan Program. The school will lend the necessary funds to the teacher. Once a degree has been awarded, the teacher can pay the loan back by continued employment at the school.

New faculty will be given a mentor for their first year at Country Day. Mentors help the new teacher "learn the ropes". Mentors also assist the teacher in learning the Philosophy and Mission of the school. Additionally, the school has a "Buddy Program". This program offers every teacher a chance to spend a day with a "buddy" in another division of the school. Finally, the Headmaster meets with all new teachers once a month to talk about their experiences and offer survival suggestions.
