Job description

Interdisciplinary Teacher (Grades 6–12)

Location: Stow, Massachusetts – Masters Academy International

Anticipated Start Date: August 1, 2026

About the School

Masters Academy International is New England’s only school that combines top‑tier sports and academics to prepare future leaders who excel in athletics, academics, and life. At MAI, academics are a vital part of developing elite performers. We’ve created a curriculum that respects the demands of our athletes without sacrificing intellectual rigor.

Students are challenged through engaging coursework grounded in inquiry that encourages healthy disagreement and debate and emphasizes quality over quantity. Our academic program aims to balance well‑being and learning, helping student‑athletes develop knowledge and the skills necessary to succeed in a rapidly evolving world.

Students are encouraged to take ownership of their education and nurture critical and creative thinking skills, preparing them to excel in any field.

Opportunity

Our interdisciplinary teaching model engages students in projects that connect ideas across literature, history, philosophy, social sciences, math, science, technology, and the arts. In this role you will design project‑based learning experiences that invite students to grapple with authentic problems and questions that matter to them and to the broader community.

You will facilitate student‑driven inquiry, creating structures that allow learners to pursue their own questions while building essential skills in research, analysis, and creative problem‑solving. Rather than simply covering content from multiple disciplines, you help students synthesize knowledge across domains and discover how different fields inform and enrich one another when applied to complex, real‑world challenges.

Your work extends beyond the classroom as you connect students with community partners, experts, and audiences for their work. You guide them in understanding how their learning translates into meaningful action—through service projects, exhibitions, presentations, or collaborative problem‑solving initiatives. Throughout each unit you scaffold integration, helping students see patterns, make unexpected connections, and develop confidence to tackle unfamiliar problems by drawing on diverse ways of knowing and doing.

What You Will Do

As a lead instructor, you guide student‑athletes in grades 6–12 through interdisciplinary, project‑based learning that connects multiple disciplines to real‑world challenges. You design and facilitate engaging units, support student‑driven inquiry, and scaffold research, collaboration, and critical‑thinking skills.

In addition to leading class sessions and small‑group work, you mentor students, foster social‑emotional growth, and help them balance the demands of academics and elite athletics. You collaborate with colleagues to ensure coherence across units and grades, create a classroom culture that emphasizes curiosity and respect, and communicate proactively with students, families, and peers to support student progress and success.

Who You Are

You are an experienced, reflective, and collaborative educator with a passion for interdisciplinary, project‑based learning. You bring several years of teaching experience, intellectual curiosity, and the ability to connect concepts across disciplines.

You understand—or are eager to learn about—the unique demands facing student‑athletes and can guide them in developing resilience, balance, and confidence. You take ownership of student success, approach challenges with integrity and courage, and value collaboration and relationships over individual recognition.

Committed to lifelong learning and innovation, you embrace new ideas, use technology purposefully, and see facilitation and scaffolding as core elements of teaching, empowering students to become creators, collaborators, and engaged citizens.

Compensation and Benefits

Salary range: $85,000. Eligible roles receive medical, life insurance, a 401(k) savings plan, and more.
