Job Description Full Time | Salary | Geneva, OH  
** SPIRE ACADEMY
** Teaching Faculty —   English  # Where 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 an English teacher who wants to help student-athletes find their voice — on the page and off it. If you love being around sports, believe great writing and communication skills are competitive advantages for life, 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 and diverse voices into your literature and writing curriculum, and learn as much from your students as they learn from you.# What You'll Actually DoThis 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, you'll:•     
** Teach
* * five sections of relevant, hands-on English and writing curriculum, using literature, media, and storytelling to build communication skills student-athletes will use for the rest of their lives•     
** 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 creative writing, journalism, debate, or a student podcast — 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•     
** Stories that stick.
** Connect literary themes — resilience, leadership, teamwork, identity — directly to the student-athlete journey, making every text feel relevant.•     
** 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 ForA mission-driven educator who:
