2026 - 2027: Kindergarten Lead Teacher

Bricolage Academy is a school with a big goal: we aim to be the highest performing non-selective school in New Orleans.

There are many people who contribute to making Bricolage special - parents, administration, students and community members - but teachers are at the center of it all. Bricolage teachers must demonstrate a deep commitment to our mission of advancing educational equity by creating innovators who change the world.

Our teachers embody our organizational values (integrity, empathy and innovation). They are always trying to get better, have a deep love for children and approach everything with a joie de vivre.

Our teachers create the kind of classrooms that nobody ever wants to leave - where it’s fun to learn and you can almost see the discovery fireworks bouncing off the walls. We’re looking for others who approach their work like we do – balancing seriousness and diligence with warmth and levity.
