Elementary Homeroom Teacher - Ansan

Saint Paul American Scholars (SPAS) is an expanding K-12 educational district dedicated to cultivating responsible citizens and preparing students for higher education. This mission involves instilling crucial ethical principles such as courage, compassion, integrity, justice, truth, reason, fairness, respect, and honesty, alongside core academic subjects.

A positive educational environment thrives on high-quality instruction from teachers and effective learning from students. Achieving this requires a secure atmosphere for all individuals associated with SPAS, alongside a strong focus on citizenship and the fair application of rules throughout the Saint Paul Scholars community. We recognize that parents play a vital role in the educational journey and must be actively involved and accountable for their children's academic performance and behavior.

At SPAS, we seek educators who see themselves as more than just teachers. Our ideal candidates are those who are eager to explore additional ways to assist struggling students, challenge high-achieving students, and understand the reasons behind students' performance levels. Their dedication stems from a commitment to ensuring that every student not only survives but also flourishes. These educators are enthusiastic about collaborating with fellow educators and stakeholders to enhance student success.

Educators at SPAS recognize that teaching extends beyond merely assigning, collecting, and assessing work. If you share this perspective, we would love to hear from you.
