# SPIRE Teacher - History## SPIRE Academy•### @spire\_institute\_academyPosted on 7/22/2026•Full-time## Job DescriptionFull Time | Salary | Geneva, OH **SPIRE ACADEMY** Teaching Faculty — \*\*HistoryWhere Sports Culture Meets the Classroom\*\* Imagine a campus where the energy of game day and the rigor of great teaching live side by side — where your classroom conversations flow naturally into locker room mindset talks, and your students are chasing championships and college acceptance letters in the same breath. That's SPIRE Academy. We're one of the fastest-growing sports academies in the country, and we're looking for a history teacher who wants to help students see themselves in the arc of the past — as future leaders, competitors, and global citizens. If you love being around sports, thrive on hands-on and relevant learning, and want your work to matter beyond the four walls of a classroom, keep reading. **Who You'll Teach** Our students come from across the country and around the world — a genuinely international, diverse community of student- athletes with big goals in sport, school, and life. You'll get to bring global perspective into your lessons and learn as much from your students as they learn from you. **What You'll Actually Do** This isn't a “stand and lecture” role. You'll be a daily, visible presence in students lives — teaching, mentoring, and helping athletes become well-rounded people ready for what's next. Specifically • Teach five sections of relevant, hands-on history curriculum you help shape, connecting historical leadership, conflict, and character to the student-athlete experience • Mentor as an Academic Advisor for a group of students, serving as their go-to point of contact and family liaison • Collaborate across departments — Sports Mindset, Student Life, Corporate Partnerships, Coaching Staff, and Event Management — to build interdisciplinary, real-world learning experiences • Partner directly with coaches to connect classroom learning to what's happening on the field, court, or ice • Track and share student growth using real data, keeping parents, faculty, and coaches in the loop • Lead a special interest or club activity each semester — think a model UN, current events club, or historical debate society — bring a passion project to life • Support Study Table rotations and the seminar curriculum • Show up at athletic events and residential life activities as a positive, engaged role model • Get certified to drive students to school-related activities (we'll help you get there) • Contribute to the Mindset Development Project and use hybrid teaching methods to keep students learning even while they travel for competition **Why This Role Is Different** • Lessons from leaders. Draw on history's great leaders, turning points, and global cultures to build character, perspective, and leadership skills in every student. • Growth, fast. SPIRE is expanding, and that means real opportunities for professional growth, leadership, and career exploration across education, athletics, and organizational leadership. • A team, not a silo. You'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with coaches, mindset coaches, and student life staff — true interdisciplinary collaboration, not just faculty meetings. • Community that shows up. Whether it's a big game or a study table session, you'll be part of a culture that shows up for its students everywhere they are.**What We're Looking For** A mission-driven educator who: • Credentialed teacher preferred but able to hire the right person with subject matter expertise • Builds genuine, trust-based relationships with students • Delivers high-quality, engaging instruction • Holds students accountable to academic and character standards • Wants to guide student-athletes toward success in sport, school, leadership, and life • Is proactive, visible, and energized by being part of a student's daily journey • Is ready to adhere to the policies in our Faculty/Staff Handbook and support the school's mission and leadership — and to pitch in wherever the Head of School needs support**If you're ready to turn the past into a launchpad for future leaders — and to help build one of the fastest-growing sports academies in the country — we want to hear from you.**
