2021-2022 Teachers, Residential Educators, And Athletic Coaches

Christina Seix Academy (CSA), an independent Pre-K to 8th grade school, is seeking experienced educators for the 2021-2022 school year to work with team members to create a nurturing and effective learning community, utilizing our 70 acre campus and state of the art facilities. A scholarship is awarded to every child entering the academy to cover tuition, books, school uniforms, meals, door to door transportation, as well as room and board for students that choose to board in 4th-8th grade.

CSA’s work centers on the dismantling of systemic barriers caused by the intersections of race, class, immigration status, and other elements of identity. We aim to create an environment that addresses and mitigates these pressures while also enabling students to navigate these systems in the outside world by respecting their voice and lifting up their sense of agency. Every facet of the school is imbued with an ethos of social justice, including the curriculum and how faculty and staff work together in community.

We believe that all students can succeed in a community where intelligence is perceived as a multidimensional, experiential and earned characteristic.

• Primary School Lead Teachers

• Primary School Associate Teachers

• Middle School Lead Teachers (Math, Science, History, Spanish, & English)

• Residential Educators (w/interest in stipend coaching)

• Substitute Teachers

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's Degree

School Values

EVERY CHILD HAS THE POTENTIAL TO ACHIEVE

CSA firmly believes that every student is capable of extraordinary things, though success may look different for different students. We support a diversity of learning styles and value many kinds of intelligences.

FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES ARE PARTNERS

CSA is but one part of the infrastructure that enables a child to achieve. This support system also includes families, caregivers, friends, community organizations, all of whom CSA views as key partners.

INNOVATION IS ESSENTIAL

The systemic challenges that CSA seeks to address are profound, and the context in which the school operates is a dynamic one. CSA believes, therefore, that experimentation, reflection, and improvement are powerful tools when supporting students.
