Job Description
Teach the way you always believed teaching should feel.
Creative STEAM Academy is hiring credentialed middle school teachers for grades 5–7. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit learning center in South Orange County (Laguna Woods, CA) where small class sizes, hands-on projects, and real student relationships replace busywork, rigid scripts, and passive learning.

Subjects We Are Hiring For:
- English Language Arts (ELA)
- Mathematics
- Science
- Social Studies
Why Teachers Love It Here:
- True Work-Life Balance: Light, balanced hours (8:30 AM to 2:30 PM) with virtually no take-home grading.
- Creative Autonomy: Freedom to design lessons that inspire, without being forced to teach to a standardized test.
- Small Class Sizes: Environments where every student is known by name, allowing for genuine connection.
- Device-Conscious Campus: A learning environment where real, human connection comes first.
- Mission-Driven Culture: Work alongside a supportive, collaborative team that leads with heart.
You are a great fit if you:
- Hold a valid California Multiple Subject, Single Subject, or Foundational-Level Math Teaching Credential .
- Have classroom experience teaching upper elementary or middle school students.
- Love designing hands-on, creative, and project-based lessons.
- Bring structure, warmth, and high expectations to the classroom.
- Are located in or within comfortable commuting distance of Orange County (ideally near Laguna Woods, Irvine, Aliso Viejo, or Mission Viejo).
Location: Laguna Woods, CA (On-Site)
Compensation: $39,000-$62,000 ($30 – $40/hour) (W-2, commensurate with experience)
Schedule: Part-Time Monday–Friday, 8:30 AM – 2:30 PM (22-30 hours/week) — Enjoy a true work-life balance!
