WHY AMIkids?

AMIkids Education teams are lucky to work with some of the most underserved kids in our communities. Working with students that come from diverse backgrounds can prove to be challenging but also rewarding. AMIkids teachers get to see the difference that they make in the lives of their students by providing instruction in a smaller classroom setting with support from a family-oriented team.

We seek a Lead Teacher who will ensure the educational quality of the program by coordinating the educational assessment program, teaching middle and senior high school classes, assist other instructors to improve teaching skills, establish and maintain educational plans, and maintain related administrative systems.

If this "WHY" resonates with you, you may have a place on our AMIkids team as an Academic Instructor.
