Description

Overview:

Our Middle School Science Teacher position is for individuals who are passionate about science

education and transforming education in New York City public schools. Our Middle School

Science Teachers are results-driven educators who inspire students through inquiry-based,

hands-on experiments.

About Success Academy

At Success Academy, we are redefining what’s possible in public education. Since opening our

first school in Harlem in 2006, we have swiftly grown to 34 high-performing schools, from Bed-

Stuy to the Bronx, serving approximately 11,000 kids. We are scaling to 100 great schools

serving 50,000 children across New York City, bringing transformational change here and across

the country. We believe all children, regardless of zip code or family income, deserve the life-

changing opportunities that a world-class education brings.

Success Academy has a science program like none other in the country. Beginning in

kindergarten, scholars receive hands-on, inquiry-based science five days a week with a dedicated

science teacher. Success Academy conduct experiments and discuss observations, data, and

results in the same way true scientists do. Our method of science instruction not only ignites a

passion for science early in life, but it also provides scholars with the critical thinking skills

necessary to tackle any problem.

At Success Academy we incorporate the three main disciplines of science – Life, Physical and

Earth – into each year’s curriculum. On any given day, a scholar might dissect a squid, program

a robot, or conduct scratch tests to identify minerals! Our curriculum is aligned to the NYS

Elementary and Intermediate Science Core Curriculum and is designed to meet and exceed state

standards with an emphasis on critical thinking and discussion. Science teachers engage and

challenge scholars in exploration and experimentation five days a week! Our curriculum also

allows teachers to utilize and create lessons based on the Next Generation Science Standards.

In all grades, pre-K through 12, our exploration-driven curriculum focuses on the whole child

and includes chess, art, and other specialized subjects that bring excitement to the school day and

foster a lifelong love of learning. To achieve exceptional results for children, we hire the best,

the brightest, and the most highly motivated adults we can find. We value excellence, celebrate

diversity, and are relentlessly committed to improving ourselves and our work to enhance the

lives of our scholars.
