We are looking for a second in department who shares our vision for an ambitious, supportive, and nurturing learning environment and curriculum.

• Equity: We recognize and reward achievement fairly, encouraging all types of success.
• Democracy: We contribute ideas to make the academy successful.
• Solidarity: We believe teamwork achieves more than individual effort.
