Full Job Description

5th & 6th Grade Lead Teacher — Upper Elementary
Close Reach Academy | Bellevue, WA | Full-Time | $48,000–$55,000/yr DOE

This is a founding-team role for the right educator.

Close Reach Academy is building an upper elementary program rooted in experiential, hands-on learning — and we're looking for a Lead Teacher to shape our 5th & 6th grade classroom from the ground up.

This is a small, intentionally sized cohort. That's not a limitation — it's a deliberate choice. You will know every student deeply, individualize instruction meaningfully, and build the kind of relationships that larger classrooms rarely allow. If you've worked in a Montessori or multi-age model, you already understand why that matters.

Who We Are

Close Reach Academy is a nonprofit, faith-rooted, experiential elementary school. We are not a franchise, and we are not a traditional classroom-and-worksheet model. Our approach is project-based, hands-on, and grounded in the belief that children grow into wise, capable, grounded people through rigorous learning and deep relationships.

Our founders are in the building. Leadership is present, accessible, and genuinely invested in the teachers who shape this school's early years.

The Role

As Lead Teacher for our 5th & 6th grade classroom, you will design and deliver curriculum for students at a pivotal developmental stage — old enough for real intellectual challenge, young enough to need warmth and structure in equal measure. You will build a classroom culture that reflects our values: formation over flash, joyful seriousness, and genuine care.

What you'll own:

Curriculum design and daily instruction across core subjects for grades 5–6
Individualized learning plans that take full advantage of a small, close-knit classroom
Integration of hands-on, project-based learning and real-world experiences
Classroom culture, behavior, and social-emotional development
Regular, substantive family communication
Collaboration with school leadership on curriculum and program development as the school grows

What We're Looking For

Required:

Current Washington State teaching license
Demonstrated classroom experience with upper elementary or middle-grade students

Strongly preferred:

Montessori training or credential (Lower or Upper Elementary) — this is close to a requirement in practice, given our model's alignment with Montessori pedagogy
Experience with multi-age or individualized classroom instruction

A meaningful plus:

Experience coaching student-athletes. Several students in this cohort are part of our Armada Hockey Academy, and a teacher who understands the rhythms and needs of young athletes will find natural alignment here.

What We're Being Honest About

We're a young school building something new. This role currently serves a small cohort, and your compensation reflects where we are as an organization right now — not where we intend to be. We are telling you this directly because we respect your time: if you need to walk into an established program with fifteen years of infrastructure behind it, we're not that yet.

What we can offer instead is real influence over what this program becomes, a genuinely mission-aligned team, and a leadership team that will grow your compensation as the school grows.

What We Offer

$48,000–$55,000/yr depending on experience and credentials
A founding role in shaping our upper elementary program
A close, hands-on leadership team
The professional and personal meaning of building something from the ground up

To Apply

Apply through Indeed with your resume. In the application, please address: your experience with Montessori or individualized instruction, and what draws you to a founding-team role at a small, growing school.

Pay: $48,000.00 - $55,000.00 per year

Benefits:

Dental insurance
Health insurance
Vision insurance

Application Question(s):

Please share your experience with Montessori or individualized instruction, and what draws you to a founding-team role at a small, growing school.

Education:

Bachelor's (Required)

Work Location: In person
