I started teaching at an independent school intending to stay 1 or 2 years before getting back into public. 7 years later I'm thrilled to be where I am. I have been having increasing pangs about teaching the elite but lots of good can be done in these schools. Having conducted job searches for the school, I can also tell you with just your current qualifications (even with no PhD) you would likely get a phone interview at my very good (half step below elite) school. The PhD and college teaching would garner you a ton of interviews.

Added bonus of independent schools vs college? You can find one whose profile makes you happy. Want a school that focuses on academics? No problem. Want a school thats progressive? Plenty of options. Want a school oriented around service? There are those. Want a boys (or girls) school? Sure. Want the all encompassing bordering school experience? You can have it. Take your pick of rural, suburban, or urban location.

If/when you decide to do this PM if you'd like to talk further.
