About Sewickley Academy
As Pittsburgh’s longest-standing independent coeducational school (Pre-K through Grade 12), Sewickley Academy is distinguished by not only its rigorous academics and outstanding faculty but also by its student-centered approach to learning and teaching, in which every child is challenged to explore and excel in his or her highest ability. Sewickley Academy faculty and staff help to create an environment of encouragement and support by inspiring students to reach their goals and develop a love of learning. We value and encourage different voices and opinions.

Why Work at SA
At Sewickley Academy, our commitment to our employees goes beyond just a competitive salary. We offer a comprehensive benefits package and prioritize work-life balance. Here are some of the key highlights:

Health Care
Sewickley Academy has partnered with Independence Blue Cross Blue Shield to provide health insurance to all full-time employees and their eligible dependents. The coverage becomes effective on the first day of the month following the employee's hire date. We offer our employees a choice between a super-rich traditional PPO plan and a high-deductible plan, both of which include vision coverage at no extra cost. The high-deductible plan also offers a premium-free option.

Retirement
At our school, we believe in empowering our employees to build a strong financial foundation for their retirement. That's why we offer a comprehensive retirement package consisting of both school and employee contributions to a 403(b) plan, managed by TIAA.
