In the fall of 2009, Eastern University Academy Charter was proud to join over 150 schools in the Big Picture and Early College High School networks. The mission of Eastern University Academy Charter (grades 7-12) is to provide a holistic, college-integrated learning community dedicated to the education of each student in the context of his/her unique interests. The school will provide students with an environment of excitement and early expectation through an integrative discovery-based learning experience that will develop logical reasoning, critical thinking, and purpose-driven global citizens. The school will graduate self-directed, self-aware learners many of whom will have successfully mastered college level work.
We are presently looking for passionate, resilient advisor/teachers who will follow 17 students for 2-4 years as a full-time advisor. While we certainly expect teachers to exhibit mastery in their content area, Eastern Academy teachers will also be expected to encompass a broad academic base, capable of focusing on all disciplines. In addition, teachers will play a pivotal role in establishing a college-going culture at the school, particularly since students will have the opportunity to earn up to 60 college credits.
If you have the mind of an “edupreneur,” - that is, you will aggressively search for opportunities to develop and serve students, please mail or e-mail a cover letter, resume, 2-3 letters of recommendation and a valid copy of teaching certification in a content area if obtained, or original transcripts to
