Job Description

We are Rocky Mountain Prep, a movement comprised of incredible educators, families, scholars, and advocates who are changing the face of public education in Colorado by democratizing college access and preparation for historically marginalized students and families. On paper, we are a network of twelve college preparatory charter schools in the Denver metro area serving students as young as twelve weeks through twelfth grade.

But we are so much more than this.

If you are mission-driven, humble in your reflections about your practice, smart in your approach to data, and results-oriented, we’d love to have you apply.

Role Mission

At RMP, our elementary school teachers don’t just teach students academic skills.  Our elementary teachers empower students with academic knowledge, social-emotional growth, and a love of learning they need to succeed in school and life.  Build an inclusive classroom where students feel seen and heard and aren’t afraid to make mistakes. Engage students through rigorous, joyful instruction that focuses on teaching students to unlock their potential, overcome obstacles, and approach challenges with resilience and a sense of curiosity. Foster classroom discussions and collaboration among students of all ages, teaching community, and teamwork. This role transforms lives by giving students the tools to achieve their big dreams and support our communities.
