English Language (EL) Coordinator

Job Description

Job Description

Description:

At Freedom Academy, we believe every student deserves to feel known, supported, encouraged, and fully equipped to succeed academically and personally.

We believe language should never become a barrier to student confidence, opportunity, belonging, or achievement. We are committed to helping students grow in both academic ability and communication skills while partnering closely with families to ensure every learner receives meaningful support.

We are building a school culture rooted in Integrity, Honor, and Leadership — where students are challenged academically, developed relationally, and supported by adults who genuinely care about their success.

We are currently seeking a compassionate, organized, and student-centered English Language (EL) Coordinator to lead and support our English Learner program.

This role is far more than compliance or testing coordination. The EL Coordinator plays an important role in helping students build confidence, strengthen language development, and succeed within the classroom while also ensuring the school maintains strong systems, communication, documentation, and family partnership.

The ideal candidate is relational, detail-oriented, collaborative, and passionate about helping multilingual learners thrive academically and socially.

If you love supporting students, partnering with families, collaborating with teachers, and helping build systems that strengthen student success — we would love to meet you.
