Prep Academy Summer 2024 Mathematics Teacher
REACH Prep seeks an experienced independent school educator to teach mathematics to rising sixth graders at its Summer Prep Academy at Sacred Heart Greenwich beginning June 2024. As members of our hardworking team of teachers and administrators, Prep Academy faculty prepares highly talented and motivated students for entry into independent schools and, ultimately, matriculation to and graduation from college. REACH Prep’s curriculum seeks to improve students’ mathematical skills and to build a strong foundation for the rigorous academic environment of independent schools. The rising sixth graders will continue with Algebra and explore basic Geometry. The curriculum is rigorous; however, there is flexibility to make modifications.

• Communicate with parents, students, and colleagues
• Engage in weekly program-wide faculty meetings; give updates on all students
• Lead a club of elective: faculty are not required to lead an afternoon club/elective; the ability to do so would be an asset

• Ability to teach middle school level Pre-algebra, Algebra I, and Geometry.
  Ability to connect with students at the late elementary school/early middle school level
