About the Role 

As a member of our faculty, you will have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on the lives of students, collaborate with colleagues, and contribute to the growth and success of our school as we implement our vision for what school can be. 

What You'll Do  

Our teachers' most important job is to help develop and nurture each student’s skills and abilities to successfully meet life’s challenges and cultivate a life of purpose. How we do that is by offering a rigorous curriculum with an individualized touch in a supportive learning community. In this role specifically, you will potentially: 

• Teach multiple sections of middle school English courses each semester.
• Depending on your strengths, experience, and the enrollment needs, teach classes other than English.
• Actively participate in and contribute to general faculty work, such as meetings, special events, self-study/accreditation, curriculum planning, student supervision, and professional development and more. Many hands make light work so we all contribute to the success of the school, our students, and each other. 
• Work with students, families, and school staff to promote student success and ensure student well-being.

You inspire students to reach their full potential, embracing the opportunity to make a lasting impact on tomorrow's leaders. As a colleague, you are positive and productive in your collaboration with others and it wouldn’t be uncommon for you to ask, “How can I help?”.
