FREquently Asked Questions
Commonly Asked Questions
What if I am an undergraduate but want to gain experience?
If you’re not yet a senior, join Carney Sandoe’s Undergrad Portal to learn more about internships and summer programs at our partner schools that can help you gain valuable experience while still in college.
When should I start working with CS&A?
You can start as early as your undergraduate years, learning about summer opportunities. However, if you are a college senior, it is important to know that we accept applications year-round. Because the independent school hiring season begins around January, we recommend you apply as soon as you can in the first semester of your senior year. This way, you have time to build your file with us so come January, we can begin right away to show you opportunities. The bulk of our work with you will take place during January through May, so if you come on board as a candidate in November, don’t be concerned that you aren’t seeing opportunities right away.
How can CS&A help me find a job after I graduate?
Whether you become a master teacher or pursue a different career down the road, you should be exploring working in the innovative and engaging world of independent schools. CS&A has deep relationships with hundreds of independent, private, charter, and like-kind schools worldwide. As a job seeker, we take the time to get to know you personally, so we can present you opportunities that are tailored to your goals and qualifications. Your Placement Team is there throughout the entire search and hiring process, from offering you advice ahead of a phone interview to salary negotiation questions and general career insight.
What sort of experience or credentials do I need?
Our schools want to see subject mastery and a desire to work with children. A degree in the subject you wish to teach is required (minors or concentrations may be acceptable); teaching certification or a degree in education is not. Hiring schools also want to see some type of experience working with children, such as in a camp setting, volunteering, coaching, tutoring, etc.
