Experiential Social Studies Teacher

Welcome to YBEC, with five campuses across south-central PA, we offer an innovative approach to education that seamlessly integrates experiential learning with adventure. We take pride in our commitment to maintaining a low student-to-staff ratio, ensuring a maximum of 1:4 students per elementary classroom and 1:6 students per secondary school classroom. This deliberate approach allows our educators, counselors, and adventure professionals to provide individualized attention, fostering a profound sense of belonging. By tailoring our teaching methods, our dedicated educators actively engage, encourage, and empower students. This approach fosters their academic, social, and personal growth both within and beyond the classroom walls.

If you have a love for history and a willingness to bring that to life for even the most apprehensive students, apply today to join our team of educators. Our history curriculum rotates through US History, World History and Civics. A Bachelor's Degree is required to obtain teacher certification.

• Creating a dynamic curriculum that captivates students' interests and fosters a deep understanding of the subject matter.
• Delivering interactive lessons in our small classroom environment to enhance student learning and comprehension.
