Three Lakes Academy in Curtis, MI is looking for a passionate educator to join our family! Three Lakes Academy is the heart of our rural community. We are a small, close-knit school dedicated to providing personalized education to our 116 students from K-6. We pride ourselves on a welcoming atmosphere where staff, students, and parents know each other by name.

Nestled between beautiful lakes and forests, our school is more than just a building—it's a community hub where education meets the great outdoors. Here, in addition to your classroom, your "office" includes a garden, an apple orchard, and an outdoor classroom designed for hands‑on, environmental learning.

Why you'll love it here:

• True Connection: With an average 15:1 student‑to‑teacher ratio, you won't just know your students' names; you'll know their families and their stories.
• Freedom to Innovate: Our small, rural setting encourages "place‑conscious" instruction. You have the flexibility to link your lessons directly to the natural world.
• Total Support: Enjoy the peace of mind that comes with health insurance and paid contributions into the Michigan Public School Employees Retirement System (MPSERS).
• U.P. Lifestyle: In Curtis, you're never "off the clock" from adventure. Whether it's fishing, hiking, or exploring the forest, the best of Michigan's wilderness is literally in your backyard.
