Job Description

5th and 6th Grade Math and Science Teacher

Looking for a higher calling? Romero Academies is seeking a passionate, mission-driven teacher to join an independent model at Romero Academy at Annunciation.

About Romero Academies.

Romero Academies is a Catholic school network located in Cincinnati, Ohio operated by Seton Education Partners. Romero Academies invests in its facility, students, and staff both academically and financially via weekly coaching meetings, frequent professional development, and competitive compensation. Inspired by the words of St. Oscar Romero, our students will “aspire not to have more, but to be more,” and develop the virtue, knowledge, and academic skills necessary to thrive in a selective college preparatory high school, college, and beyond. 

Romero Academies has two locations. In the Fall of 2020, we began managing Resurrection School in Price Hill as Romero Academy at Resurrection. In Fall 2023, we opened our second campus at Annunciation School in Clifton. What started as an idea has turned into a high-performing, joy-filled Catholic school, filled with scholars of diverse backgrounds and needs who began to outperform their neighborhood, city, and state peers on national assessments. We are blessed to serve hundreds of amazing scholars across our two campuses.

Romero Academies' teachers partner with families to form future saints by developing the intellect, forming the character, and engaging the faith of each scholar. We are looking for a highly dedicated educator who brings an unwavering commitment to helping every scholar achieve their God-given potential. This position will teach one 5th grade class and one 6th grade class both math and science. Each class level spends half the day with this teacher.

• Achieve meaningful student achievement and growth results aligned with the school's mission and annual goals.
• Implement school-wide systems for academics, culture, and character development.
• Connect with families through frequent phone calls, emails, conferences, and notes.
• Develop meaningful relationships with students and parents that drive students to love learning and make exceptional academic gains.
• Participate in up to two weeks of summer training before school’s opening. 
• Engage in ongoing professional development.
• Commit to teaching an extended school year.
• Help students develop a personal relationship with Christ.
