Teacher - Math (COA) (SY26-27)

Chelsea Public Schools (CPS) is a gateway school system committed to welcoming, educating, and uplifting all students and their families. We believe that every child is capable of achieving their personal best when they learn in safe, supportive, and culturally responsive environments. CPS serves over 6,200 students across 11 schools—including a pre-K–1st grade early learning center, four elementary schools, three middle schools, a virtual school, and two high schools.

As a proudly multilingual district, we view students' languages and cultural identities as assets that enrich our community. We prioritize strong relationships, high expectations, and instructional practices that encourage students to take academic risks and grow. More information about CPS can be found on our website at

Founded in 2018, Chelsea Opportunity Academy (COA) is the district's alternative high school designed for students who are overage and under credited, balancing school with significant responsibilities outside the classroom. COA was created in partnership with Chelsea students, families, and community members, resulting in an innovative, flexible learning model that enables students to re-engage in school and earn a high-quality diploma on timelines that work for them.

COA serves approximately 150 students each year through a personalized, relationship-centered approach. The school's flexible and asynchronous model supports the 80% of students who work while attending school, and its core value—Every Day Is a New Day—guides a culture of belonging, care, and possibility. With a small, mission-driven staff, a deeply rooted crew advisory system, strong alumni mentorship, and an emphasis on healing-centered practice, COA has supported more than 200 graduates who are now enrolled in postsecondary programs or employed.

COA is seeking a math teacher who recognizes the transformative power of relationships, deeply values young people's strengths, and believes that with support, love, and academic challenge, all students can thrive.
