Job Summary: Socratic School of STEM (SSS) is seeking an outstanding Upper Elementary Teacher to lead Grades 3-5 learners in a studio (classroom) where academic mastery and independence grow side-by-side.

About Socratic School of STEM: 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 skills - 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

• Lead Grades 3-5 learners in a studio (classroom) where academic mastery and independence grow side-by-side.
• Coach learners in literacy, social sciences, history, and predominantly STEM.
• Use Socratic dialogue and project-based learning to deepen comprehension, reasoning, and expression.
• Guide learners toward mastery through clear expectations, strong systems, and disciplined feedback.
