Polaris Tech Charter Elementary School is a new premier school scheduled to open in August 2023, where we will make academic dreams a reality. We seek certified teachers (navigators) who will join an outstanding education team to unleash student potential and cultivate aspirations where students are career-focused, college-ready, and invested in the community.

The teacher is aware of different learning preferences, diversity, and universal design principles and appropriately differentiates and adapts to meet the academic, social, and emotional individual needs of each student.
