Our passion is serving low-income neighborhoods and providing a STEM-focused education in conjunction with music, foreign language, and sports programs.

As we grow by roughly 30% each year, we are seeking intelligent, data-driven teachers eager to uphold the same academic excellence that made our flagship school in Tucson the 2016 AZ Charter School of the Year. Our results and success support our belief that all students can succeed – no matter their background – with the right programs in place, and more importantly, the right people leading the way. That’s where you come in.

In 2018, we will be growing at one of our existing campus and a new campus will also be opening which combined, has led to our high demand of elementary teachers. We have openings for Kindergarten-5th Grade.

  • Do you believe in the importance of a balanced education with a STEM focus in addition to arts, humanities, and character development?

  • Prior experience working with children
  • Strong analytical abilities and a love for data-driven instruction

  • Collaborative work style paired with the ability to take initiative
