ABOUT SOCRATIC SCHOOL OF STEM (SSS)
Socratic School of STEM (SSS) is a private boutique K-12 school in Raleigh, NC built for families who want rigor, learner ownership, and real-world skill - not passive learning. Our model is learner-driven and Socratic method-guided: students learn to ask better questions, defend ideas with evidence, and produce high-quality work.
We are STEM-forward by design while protecting fundamentals. Teachers coach strong reading, writing, and math alongside design thinking, labs, and projects where learners plan, build, test, revise, and present.
Our culture is to "Seek, Solve, Serve" - disciplined inquiry, meaningful problem-solving, and principled contribution. SSS is intentionally small and high-trust, with a faculty team that values clarity, high standards, warmth with accountability, and continuous improvement.
THE OPPORTUNITY
SSS is seeking an exceptional Middle School Teacher to help launch and shape a middle grades program defined by rigorous academics, strong culture, and authentic learner-driven exploration. The Teacher will lead students through the shift from "learning skills" to "using skills" - clear writing, evidence-based discussion, mathematical and scientific reasoning, and interdisciplinary projects that demand planning, collaboration, ownership, and iteration.
