Third Grade Lead Teacher

Are you an experienced elementary school teacher who can engage and challenge children as you make learning fun? Are you looking for a supportive teaching and learning community?

Sonder Creek Academy (SCA) is an independent K - 8 school in Walnut Creek. We are growing and are looking to add a strong Third Grade Teacher for the 2026/2027 school year and beyond.

• We deeply value student learning and achievement. SCA was founded on the principle that students both want to do more and can do more – if supported by the right teacher.
• We love what we do. This is not a 'get through the day, get through the year' team. If you want to be with teachers and administrators who are as excited about teaching and learning as you are, this is your home.
• Be a part of our uniquely positive school; we have motivated students, supportive parents and have fostered an incredibly happy place to work and learn.

• Be excited about teaching and helping students achieve.
• Connect with students and build positive relationships with families.
• Create engaging activities; level‑up and differentiate our curricula to meet our learner needs.
• Be positive! Students look forward to our classes, we look forward to being around each other, and parents look forward to seeing us at school and school events.

Interested candidates, please submit both a resume and brief cover letter. Your cover helps us to get to know you as a teacher and is a great place to demonstrate your fit with SCA.

We look forward to hearing from you soon!
