Green Acres School is seeking a full-time middle school math and engineering teacher to join our dynamic staff community for the 2026–2027 school year.

The successful candidate will have an approach to the discipline that encourages a high degree of math fluency and problem solving by balancing an established and successful scope and sequence with interesting and engaging projects. The successful candidate will have a deep understanding of how math creates models of our world, and they will incorporate that understanding by teaching math not just as abstract problems and theory, but also as it explains and illustrates the world around us. The successful candidate will have the capacity to meet the needs of a range of learners.
