Description

LAKE Academy in Grand Rapids, Minnesota is a small, fast-growing private school redefining education for elementary and middle school students through experience-based, project-based, and outdoor learning.

This is not a traditional teaching role—we are seeking a high-energy, driven educator who thrives in active, real-world environments and leads with a growth mindset and strong emotional intelligence.

Our program emphasizes leadership development, whole-child learning, and building confident, capable kids through movement, challenge, and strong relationships.

This is a full-time, year-round position with a September–May academic year and additional programming throughout the year.

Compensation is competitive and based on experience.

To apply, email support@lakeacademy.school with your resume, at least three professional references, and a short video (under 5 minutes) answering: why this model excites you, a time you led or coached others, and a time you had to pivot quickly—your iPhone is great; we’re looking for energy, clarity, and personality.

Incomplete applications will not be considered.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree (education or related field preferred)
  • Experience working with children (elementary and/or middle school)
  • Comfortable leading in active, outdoor, and hands-on learning environments
  • Strong communication skills and ability to build relationships with students and families
  • Demonstrated growth mindset, adaptability, and ownership
  • Ability to take initiative and thrive in a fast-paced, non-traditional school setting
  • Background in coaching, athletics, or leadership development strongly preferred
