Education Specialist

SR1 CPSA is Mississippi’s first and only STEM-focused college preparatory charter school — a tuition-free public school where every scholar gets rigorous academics, hands-on STEM, and enrichment that rivals the best private schools. Global learning, international awareness, and diversity are woven through everything we do. We are growing, and we are selective. We are looking for exceptional, mission-driven educators who bring global perspectives, celebrate diversity, and are creative enough to thrive in a startup school in its fourth year — one doing extraordinary work today while we build toward our own permanent campus.

Our Scholars Are Already Setting the Standard

• 88% of our 3rd graders passed the Mississippi ELA reading assessment on their first attempt — more than 10 points above the 2025 statewide average of 77.3%.
• Close to 75% of our kindergartners finished the year reading at or above benchmark.

What We’re Building Next

Next year we launch K–4 Vanguard Scholars with one bold goal: get as close to 100% mastery in literacy and math as possible — paired with music, contemporary dance, and athletics like golf that develop the whole child.

Open Roles

• K–4 Educators (2 openings) — lead a classroom and teach toward mastery in literacy and math with a collaborative team behind you.
• School Counselor — nurture the social-emotional growth, character, and well-being that help every scholar thrive.
• English as a Second Language (ESL) Teacher — help multilingual scholars excel academically while honoring their language and culture.
• Special Education (SPED) Teacher — design individualized support and services so every scholar can reach mastery.
• STEM & College Preparatory Creative Educator — drive our hands-on, “Learning by Doing” STEM and college-prep program.
• Transportation Drivers (2 openings) — the first and last faces our scholars see each day, and a vital first and last line of the academic and social support that shapes our students.

Current college students studying education are encouraged to apply — gain real classroom experience and get paid for it.

Compensation & Culture

We offer pay averaging about 2% above comparable roles in our area. Please note that we do not currently participate in PERS (Mississippi’s Public Employees’ Retirement System). What we do offer is the chance to do the best work of your career alongside people who believe every child deserves a world-class education — regardless of ZIP code.
