Director of Academic Programs - Immediate Start!

BASIS Phoenix South is seeking a Director of Academic Programs to start ASAP!

About our campus:

Our Phoenix South campus is a Title I School. What does that mean?

“Title I” refers to schools that serve a high percentage of students from low-income families, and they can be found in both urban and rural communities throughout the United States.

Through the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, Title I schools qualify for additional funds and support from government agencies to help ensure that all children have the opportunity to be successful.

Teachers are drawn to teach in Title I schools for a variety of reasons. Many want to make a difference for high-needs students and/or give back to their own communities. Others have been inspired by their own influential teachers and want to be “that one teacher” for their own students.
