High School Science Teacher 2025-26 (Biology & Physical Science)

The only thing our science teacher will love more than science is inspiring kids to love science! Why are polar bears white? Why do frogs say "ribbit"? How are vaccines made? Why do dogs wag their tails? Can animals laugh? If questions like these from young scholars excite you and you're already mentally connecting these concepts to amazing science lessons, then you may be the teacher we're looking for! As a BA science teacher, your top priority will be to ensure that our scholars are doing science, and not just learning about it. BA operates on a year-round academic calendar. We will have grades K through 9th in July and will continue to add a grade each subsequent year until we are K-12 in 2028. Class sizes range from 12 to 24 scholars per class. Given that we'll only have 9th graders next year, we'd LOVE for our incoming science teacher to teach Physical Science in a way that perfectly positions our scholars to excel in Biology as their next course. The teacher would also have the option to move up with this group of scholars to teach them Biology in their 10th grade year. At Butler Academy, or BA for short, we're committed to building something extraordinary, and we won't settle for anything less than the most talented, innovative, passionate, and committed educators we can find. Our goal is to find teachers who are committed to closing the achievement gap by making BA a dynamic learning environment where every child is genuinely embraced and uplifted. As part of your commitment, we ask that you: Develop well-rounded scientists and engineers through hands-on creative lessons Expose our scholars to various branches of science and engineering Differentiate instruction for scholars based on their educational needs, abilities, grade level and interests Acquire appropriate teaching materials and resources Create an engaging scholar-centered environment, utilizing teaching techniques from our "Responsive Classroom" training Motivate scholars and encourage progress Embody Butler Academy's mission, vision, and core values Participate in all community building activities, including Morning Huddle and Friday Celebration What you'll need: Bachelor's degree (conferred by July 1) SC Teacher certification (or transferrable certification from another state) A strong belief that all scholars can succeed; regardless of their race, class, or gender An ability to work in a dynamic, fast-paced environment A commitment to constant professional growth and development
