Substitutes: Middle School, Grades 6-8

St. Paul Academy and Summit School seeks substitute teachers in the Middle School, grades 6-8.

The Middle School at SPA is a place where students in grades 6-8 experience the transition from childhood to young adulthood safely and are surrounded by adults who care. Our culture is defined by a warm and welcoming community, a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, and an innovative, rigorous curriculum. The curriculum emphasizes wide‑range exploration and skill development in specific disciplines, taught by teachers who understand and genuinely enjoy students at this age.

Organization and accountability are emphasized, and students learn to take responsibility for managing their work.

In the Middle School, students are challenged to embrace new ideas and think independently. The classroom experience is based on increased academic rigor combined with increased freedom of choice, and support for the social/emotional needs of young adolescents is provided using Developmental Designs for Middle School. The advisory system sets clear standards and expectations for individual behavior and community norms.

Subs are also needed in the areas of math and science.
