In this teaching position, you have the opportunity to use your passion for chemistry to inspire students and prepare them for college and future AP courses. As an AP/Honors Chemistry teacher, you will build upon foundations laid in middle school to give students a more in-depth understanding of Chemistry and prepare them for AP testing. Topics covered include chemical formulas and reactions, stoichiometry, atomic and molecular structure, periodic table, and states of matter and gas laws. Student-guided labs will give students hands on experience and learning opportunities.

As part of a uniquely collaborative and professional teaching community, you will have the opportunity to work with talented colleagues to create a learning culture where diverse perspectives are challenged and tested in an environment of informed thought and collegiality.

  • Tutor students in content-specific knowledge and skills to heighten the trajectory of students academic and career success.
  • Manage student behavior to foster academic achievement, personal responsibility, intellect, and individuality in all students.
