Job Description
As a Science Teacher at Success Academy, you will engage elementary school students in a rigorous and dynamic science curriculum that promotes critical thinking and scientific literacy.
You will collaborate with a dedicated team to foster an environment where students develop a passion for scientific inquiry and prepare for future academic success.
Our Approach
At Success Academy, 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.

Engage in professional development opportunities with school leaders to benefit from targeted, in-the-moment feedback and coaching to improve your performance.
There are also opportunities to enter our school leadership track as an assistant principal as well as to transition to our network office.
Requirements

- A rigorous and relevant academic major (i.e., biology, chemistry, physics, engineering).
- Ability to work in person in New York City ($2500 stipend for qualified relocations).
