Job Description:

Saint Paul American Scholars (SPAS) is designed to help teach young people to become responsible citizens and prepare students for college. That means that they must learn the key attributes of ethical behavior, including courage, compassion, integrity, justice, truth, reason, fairness, respect, and honesty, in addition to the core academic subjects.

A positive school climate is characterized by quality teaching by instructors and effective learning by students. This requires a safe environment for all who work in and attend SPAS, along with an emphasis on citizenship and adherence to rules applied equitably and fairly to all in the Saint Paul Scholars community.
We believe that parents are essential partners in the educational process and must be properly involved and accountable for the achievement and behavior of their children.

SPAS hires educators, and we are looking for candidates who consider themselves to be educators, not just teachers. This means, at their core, they want to know how else to support struggling students, how else to challenge excelling students, and why the students are performing on their levels. Educators’ passion comes from hard work and effort to see a student not just survive but thrive. Educators want to engage with other educators and stakeholders to support their students. Educators understand that education is just assigning, collecting, and checking work.

Responsibilities Overview:

Work directly with the SPAS School Principal, General Manager, and Head of School for early design and layout of hiring plans, student classroom assignments, and the design of a 1-year/3-year growth plan for the new campus
Attend School Conferences on the Ansan campus for recruiting and parent Q&A
Interview administrative and teacher candidates with the assistance of the School Principal
Assign teacher talent to classes based on interviews
Become an expert on SPAS policies and procedures
Design and oversee the first Ansan summer camp for Summer 2025
Complete a full school schedule and routine for the opening year of Ansan: 2025-2026

Aligning with a school community’s effort to raise a child
