Middle School Math Teacher

Teaching Matters Here

Prelude Prep is a tuition-free public charter school serving students in Pre-K through 8th grade in San Antonio.

We are seeking a Middle School Math Teacher who is passionate about helping students develop confidence, problem-solving skills, and a deep understanding of mathematics.
