High School Math; Algebra and Geometry Teacher

Monarca Academy Founding Math Teacher

Monarca Academy, which will open its doors to high school students in grade 9 in fall 2026 and grow by one grade level each subsequent year, is a community of social justice‑minded and equity‑oriented educators working to provide an identity‑safe, and affirming, space that embraces and lifts up the brilliance of all students. At Monarca Academy, we eliminate barriers to success for all students, recognizing that our systems are what need to be “fixed” rather than our students.

We recognize that these deficit perspectives have too long impacted the way in which we serve our students and communities. Inspired by the Latinx and immigrant experience, we develop leaders through high academic standards (Ganas), cultural responsiveness (Orgullo), and community building (Comunidad).

We are eagerly seeking a founding team to exemplify this model and build the culture to live out our mission. If you are interested in a collaborative environment that combines an asset‑based philosophy with high expectations for learning, we hope you will consider applying to join our professional learning community in service of our students.

At Monarca, we utilize the three values of Ganas (Perseverance), Orgullo (Pride), and Comunidad (Community) as our foundation. We want these values to be not only how we build our model for culture and academics, but how we operate and our way of being in all interactions, with our students, families, each other, and within ourselves. We leverage these three values to constantly reflect on how we show up for our students, how our teaching is shaped by our lived experiences and identities, and how we shape the sense of belonging we create for students.
