HIGH SCHOOL MATH TEACHER (GRADES 9-12)

About the role

Maritime Western New York Maritime Charter School is a military-style public charter school built on structure, accountability, and leadership development. Our classrooms are predictable, disciplined, and focused on execution. We do not operate in a loose or unstructured model. Teachers here are expected to lead, enforce, and deliver results.

Who We Are Looking For

We are not looking for someone who "likes math" and hopes students will engage. We are looking for a teacher who:

• Holds students accountable for showing work, thinking, and completing tasks
• Is comfortable addressing issues immediately, not later
• Understands that math success requires discipline, repetition, and clarity

If your classroom tends to become inconsistent, off-task, or dependent on student motivation, this is not the right fit.
