Job description

About MetroPrep

Today, MetroPrep is entering an exciting new chapter, expanding into world-class programs that prepare students to lead, create, and change the world. Our SMITH Arts program is building professional-level opportunities in music, theatre, film, and multimedia. Students do not just study creativity — they produce professional work that goes out onto the world stage.

The Role

This is a dual role that blends professional creative production with classroom teaching.

As a creative professional, you will:

• Act as MetroPrep’s lead multimedia designer, producing high-quality brochures, newsletters, posters, ads, and marketing materials.
• Lead videography and photography projects, including school marketing videos and professional music videos for the SMITH Arts program.
• Use the Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Premiere Pro, After Effects) to create compelling, professional-level content.

As a teacher, you will inspire and guide students across the following courses:

• Visual Arts: AVI1O (Grade 9), AVI3M (Grade 11), AVI4M (Grade 12)
• Media Arts: ASM2O (Grade 10), ASM3M (Grade 11), ASM4M (Grade 12)
• Integrated Arts: ALC2O (Grade 10)

You will bring your creative expertise into the classroom, showing students not just theory, but what professional-level media and arts look like in the real world.

Who We’re Looking For

• A professional creative with proven experience in multimedia, videography, and design.
• Mastery of the Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Premiere Pro, After Effects).
• Strong videography and photography skills — with the ability to shoot, edit, and produce professional-quality projects.
• A strong portfolio that demonstrates creative talent and technical expertise.
• A passion for teaching and working with students.
• Master’s degree preferred, though exceptional candidates with significant experience and an outstanding portfolio will be considered.

Why MetroPrep?

At MetroPrep, you’ll be part of a team that believes education should break boundaries. We give students professional-grade opportunities in science, arts, and social impact — opportunities rarely seen at the high school level.

Here, your creative work will not just promote a school — it will inspire students, shape programs, and help bring youth voices to the world stage. You’ll work alongside passionate teachers, visionary leaders, and students who are excited to create, perform, and lead.
