5th and 6th Grade ELA/Science Teacher
At Freedom Academy, we believe great teachers do more than teach content — they help students think, grow, communicate, question, and develop confidence during some of the most formative years of their lives. We believe middle elementary students need classrooms that are both structured and engaging. Places where curiosity is encouraged, strong relationships matter, academic standards stay high, and students are challenged to grow both intellectually and personally. We are building a school culture rooted in Integrity, Honor, and Leadership — where students are challenged academically, developed relationally, and surrounded by adults who genuinely love what they do. We are currently seeking a passionate, relational, and academically strong 5th & 6th Grade ELA Science Teacher who loves teaching, values strong classroom culture, and is excited to help students develop critical thinking, communication skills, scientific curiosity, and confidence. This role is far more than delivering lessons or assigning grades. Our teachers help students strengthen their reading, writing, communication, reasoning, and problem-solving abilities while creating classrooms where students feel safe, known, challenged, and encouraged. If you love creating engaging learning experiences, building strong student relationships, teaching with energy and purpose, and being part of a mission-driven school community — we would love to meet you.
