Ignite Entrepreneurship Academy is excited to welcome new lead classroom teachers to our team! Our innovative approach to teaching is grounded in three key components: the Montessori methodology, blended learning, and project-based learning.

We do through this a unique learning model that incorporates blended grade level classrooms as follows: Kindergarten, Lower Elementary (grades 1-2), Middle Elementary (3-4) Upper Elementary (grades 5-6) and Middle School (grades 7-8).
At Ignite Academy, we believe that students in the 21st century require an expanded skill set beyond acquiring knowledge that will prepare them to operate within new, innovative companies or pursue their own entrepreneurial opportunities. The future of Ignite Academy holds limitless possibilities as students are encouraged to innovate and explore.
We are seeking experienced and innovative classroom teachers who are excited to work in a unique charter school environment and who have at their core a deep appreciation for elementary students. We expect our teachers to be leaders and to play an active role in realizing the school’s mission by building and shaping our school culture. IEA teachers will implement a high-quality, rigorous academic program that includes the Montessori methodology, blended learning, and the development of project-based, interdisciplinary units that lead students to demonstrate their understanding creatively and in a hands-on manner.
