Company: Soldier Hollow Charter School Position: Music Teacher Department: Teaching
School Overview
Soldier Hollow Charter School is an award winning K-8 free public charter school located in beautiful Charleston, Utah. Our teachers incorporate the outdoors to deliver high quality place-based learning. With class sizes of about 20 students our teachers are able to build strong relationships with their students and enjoy a quality work/life balance. The charter school model provides a unique opportunity for hands on, collaborative problem solving without all of the red tape. We strive to build a team of innovative educational professionals who are driven to support one another in the achievement of meaningful outcomes.
SHCS is seeking an engaged and dynamic music teacher to begin our brand new music program for the 24-25 school year. We are looking for a teacher who can teach both elementary and middle school classes. Middle school classes will be mostly choral as we do not have a band room or band equipment. That said, we are open to ideas and need someone who is a self starter who can visualize, create, and actualise a music program for our K-8 education program.
