Science Teacher - Elementary School at Success Academy Summary:
As a Science Teacher at Success Academy, you will engage and nurture students from diverse backgrounds in an intellectually stimulating environment focused on scientific literacy and critical thinking. You will deliver an innovative science curriculum that emphasizes the interconnections among various scientific disciplines while fostering a passion for scientific inquiry among K-12 scholars.
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.

- 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.
- Career Advancement and Skill Development: Success Academy gives you unparalleled opportunities to gain valuable professional skills and advance rapidly with leadership opportunities available both in the classroom and outside.
Requirements:
- A bachelor's degree before your first day of work with Success Academy
- 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)
- Supervise a classroom of 20 students
What We Look For:
- Drive for Excellence: You set ambitious goals for yourself and have never been afraid of putting in the hard work it takes to achieve them;
- Confidence and Presence: You enjoy taking the lead and inspiring others with your passion and commitment;
- Possession of Passion for Content: You relish literature, science, history, and/or math and independently seek to deepen your knowledge of subjects that interest you;
- Planning and Organizational Skills: You have experience juggling multiple responsibilities and are able to plan around competing priorities;
- Emotional Intelligence: You have strong instincts for building trusting relationships with people from a wide range of backgrounds;
- Learner: You are intellectually curious and are motivated to master new skills. You welcome feedback and coaching that will help you achieve your goals;
