About the Job

High School Social Sciences/History Teacher (On-Site Classroom Instructor)

Teach in a personalized, small-group environment where students can catch up, stay on track, or get ahead through flexible and honors-level pathways.

Location: On-site | Pinnacle Charter Schools – Tempe Campus, Tempe, Arizona

This is not a remote role.

Pinnacle Charter Schools, operated by MGRM Pinnacle, is a Cognia-accredited network of charter schools serving students across Arizona since 1995. We offer a flexible, year-round instructional model that blends online learning with in-person academic support at our school sites.

Our approach is built around Personalized Learning Programs (PLPs) that allow students to move at their own pace-whether they are catching up, staying on track, or getting ahead through honors-level coursework and accelerated pathways.

We serve a diverse student population with varying academic goals and life circumstances. Some students benefit from additional support and flexibility, while others are motivated to accelerate, take on more rigorous coursework, or pursue a non-traditional path to graduation. At Pinnacle, we prioritize individualized learning, strong relationships, and meaningful academic progress.
