The Academy of Charter Schools

The Academy is a long-standing and thriving charter school in a northern suburb of the Denver metro. With a college-prep mission, extremely supportive families, great students and a family-like feel, it's a great place to work and to learn. In fact, the majority of staff members have their own children here! Serving just over 1,800 students K-12 with two campuses, The Academy consistently ranks as a "performance" school and continues to innovate and improve our programs, academics, athletics and facilities.

New teachers to The Academy receive intense support and ongoing professional development through a two-year induction program that includes weekly mentor meetings, bi-weekly induction classes, weekly observation, coaching meeting cycles and weekly grade level team/department meetings. Every Tuesday, teachers engage in professional development workshops to increase their instructional skills, with many opportunities to take on leadership roles after the second or third year in the classroom. With a balance of strong structures and an encouragement of innovation and risk, a teacher who loves to be creative and take initiative is a great fit.

The Academy's current starting salary is $46,000, which aligns to or exceeds nearly all local school districts. Additionally, we pay 100% of an individual's benefit package which includes medical, dental, eye, life insurance and short-term disability, keeping our salary and benefit package extremely competitive.

As one of our course selections, we run a Teacher Cadet program, allowing students to help instruct one period a day in one of the lower grades.

We are always looking for highly qualified candidates who would make a great fit. Please check out our job board for opportunities, or email email for potential opportunities that may not be listed.
