Teacher Careers

View Current Openings and Apply Now

We continuously recruit for teaching and related professional positions throughout the year in order to build a talent pool of potential candidates and encourage you to submit an application. When a position becomes available, we review applications, credentials and other pertinent details at that time. Due to the high volume of applications in some curricular areas, only those candidates selected for interviews will be contacted by a recruiter.

We are especially interested in recruiting teachers and related professional positions in the critical shortage areas as well as teacher candidates who are career changers and/or retirees from the military or other fields.

If you have a Bachelor’s Degree or higher in one of these areas and have experience teaching or working with school-age children but have not yet earned a teaching certification, contact us to learn more about opportunities to start your career in education now.
