High School Teacher Jobs in Virginia: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a high school teacher in Virginia?
To become a high school teacher in Virginia, you must earn a bachelor's degree and complete a state-approved educator preparation program, then apply for a teaching license through the Virginia Department of Education. Licensure requires passing the Praxis Core Academic Skills for Educators tests and a Praxis Subject Assessment in your content area. Virginia issues a Collegiate Professional License for candidates who meet all requirements and a Provisional License for those still completing preparation.
How much do high school teachers make in Virginia?
High school teachers in Virginia earn a median of about $72,170 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $49,900 for the lowest 10% to over $107,930 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire high school teachers in Virginia?
Employers hiring high school teachers in Virginia right now include Unlimited Instruction, Stride, and Charlottesville City Schools, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Virginia's large public school divisions, particularly those in Northern Virginia and Hampton Roads, account for a significant share of ongoing openings statewide.
Which Virginia cities have the most high school teacher jobs?
Charlottesville, Reston, and Nottoway Court House have the most high school teacher openings in Virginia. The distribution reflects the size of the surrounding population: Northern Virginia's dense suburban communities feed some of the largest school divisions in the country, Richmond anchors the central region as the state capital, and Hampton Roads draws demand from a mix of military families, urban growth, and large coastal school systems.
Are there remote high school teacher jobs in Virginia?
Yes, but they're rare. High school teaching is fundamentally a classroom-based role, so fully remote positions make up a small share of the market. About 60% of high school teacher openings tied to Virginia are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, and those tend to be in online or virtual school programs rather than traditional school divisions. Virginia Virtual Academy and similar statewide virtual programs are the most consistent sources of remote teaching positions.
How can I get hired as a high school teacher in Virginia with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for a position under Virginia's Provisional License, which allows candidates who have not yet completed all licensure requirements to teach while finishing their preparation. Large Virginia school divisions such as Fairfax County Public Schools and Prince William County Public Schools regularly hire provisionally licensed candidates, particularly in high-need subjects like special education, math, and science. Completing a student teaching placement in a Virginia school and earning a subject-area endorsement strengthens your application significantly before you apply.
Where can I find and apply to high school teacher jobs in Virginia?
You can find and apply to high school teacher jobs in Virginia on Migrate Mate, which lists current Virginia openings from school divisions and education employers across the state. Search the listings, find roles that fit your credentials and preferred location, and apply directly to the ones that match.
