Join our team of professional educators!

Dixon School of Arts and Sciences (https://dixonschoolota.org/) in Pensacola, Florida, is an independent school serving students in kindergarten through eighth grade. Our mission is to provide values-based excellence in academic achievement by focusing on the arts and sciences.

At DSAS, our students develop a passion for learning, and a new understanding of their own potential. Our goal is to inspire a love for learning in our students and for them to achieve academic success.

Our goal for DSAS instructional staff is to implement a dynamic and rigorous curriculum that breaks the low achievement mold of struggling schools. We offer an opportunity to low-income students and families who might not otherwise afford a private school education. Using creative and discovery-based approaches, we intend to disrupt education inequality.

Our innovative approach includes a strong emphasis on Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics. Our unique classroom experience includes Visiting Artists collaborating with classroom teachers, and a creativity-infused curriculum to integrate the arts into all the core content areas of literacy, math, social studies, and science. At DSAS, we cultivate a school climate that is friendly and inviting to students and families.
