Challenger School Elementary TeacherChallenger School is seeking enthusiastic, intelligent individuals to join the elementary school teams at our Austin campuses. As a teacher at Challenger, you will teach individual responsibility, self-confidence, and independence alongside grammar and math.

Specific teaching degrees and certificates are not required to teach at Challenger School; we will teach you how to teach!

After successful completion of that program, you will be given a classroom of your own to teach and manage. Where available, candidates may be considered for more specialized positions such as computer, P.E., art, or middle school teacher.
