Middle School STEM Teacher

At Digital Pioneers Academy (DPA), our Middle School STEM Teachers do more than teach content — they develop innovators, problem-solvers, and future leaders. DPA educators ensure all scholars meet the highest academic and behavioral expectations in a community where every scholar is known, loved, challenged, and respected.

DPA teachers believe all scholars can achieve at high levels. As a STEM Teacher, you will implement DPA’s rigorous, standards-aligned curriculum while designing engaging, real-world STEM experiences that drive mastery and intellectual growth. Through our semi-self-contained model, each cohort is supported by a STEM and Humanities teacher who partner closely to plan instruction, analyze data, and deliver targeted, holistic supports across content areas.
