Elementary School Science Teacher at Success Academy

As an Elementary School Science Teacher at Success Academy, you will engage students from low-income neighborhoods in a rigorous and enriching science curriculum designed to develop their critical thinking skills. The role emphasizes scientific literacy across various disciplines, fostering a passion for inquiry and exploration among scholars.

You will join a collaborative team dedicated to empowering students and preparing them for college and leadership roles in the future. Our Science program ignites a passion in scholars for scientific thinking and curiosity.

We develop our scholars as citizens of science, empowering them to engage creatively, critically, and meaningfully with the world around them in ways that are endlessly fascinating, complex, and philosophical. Scholars engage flexibly with different scientific disciplines, compelling them to see engineering, physics, mathematics, chemistry, and biology as all interdependent.

We also place a strong emphasis on scientific literacy, with special attention to reading, writing, and data literacy. A background in education is not required. At Success Academy, we provide you with extensive training and a proven curriculum so you can focus on working with your students instead of building lesson plans.
