Job Description

We are currently recruiting for art teachers for kids, teens and adults for weekday afternoons and weekends to start immediately.  Must have weekend availability.

Our curriculum is created centrally so there is minimal prep required and all tools, equipment and supplies are provided.  Our teachers follow our lesson plans to ensure that students produce high quality results and increase their artistic abilities.  Most of our teachers work onsite at our school locations but we also have travel teacher opportunities for people who are willing to deliver our curriculum in after school programs in local schools and other art enrichment programs in the community.  Our class sizes are small with a Teacher to student ratio never more than 1:8.
