Job Description
What if teaching science felt like… actual science again? No overcrowded classrooms. No endless test prep. No admin breathing down your neck asking why your lab got loud. At Gateway Academy , science is hands-on, discussion-driven, and built for students who think differently — and for teachers who want to teach differently . Why this is not your average science job: Only 14 students per class Yes, really. You'll know every student, how they think, and how to push their curiosity further. Weekly labs (the fun kind) Labs aren't "when we have time." They're baked in. Expect experiments, messes, questions, and real discovery. Field trips encouraged Science doesn't live in a textbook — so neither should you. Museums, research centers, nature, partner organizations? Let's go. Partnerships with science-based organizations We collaborate with groups doing real-world science, giving students exposure beyond the classroom — and giving you professional inspiration. Blended & Dual Enrollment support Teach students who are ready to go deeper. We support innovation, interdisciplinary thinking, and college-level exploration. 8.5 weeks paid vacation + 6 weeks summer break Yes, you read that correctly. Brilliant teachers deserve rest. A welcoming faculty + genuinely supportive administration No micromanaging. No toxic culture. Just people who respect your expertise and want you to succeed. Think outside the box (we want you to) Creative labs? Cross-disciplinary projects? New approaches? If you've ever said, "I wish I could try this…" — this is your place.
