Humanities Teacher

Kreiva Academy

Our goal at Kreiva Academy is to help students of all abilities discover who they are and what success will mean for them, and then encourage them to reach beyond perceived limits to achieve these dreams.

Kreiva Academy teaching positions require teamwork, flexibility, and a willingness to work within and outside one’s subject area to help students meet mastery-based standards for graduation. Teachers use background knowledge from their areas of expertise to build project-based, trans-disciplinary courses. In addition to facilitating learning within multi-grade, topic-based modules, teachers serve as Student Crew Leaders and collaborate as members of the Faculty.
