High School Math Teacher
About The Position
Blyth Academy is seeking a committed and engaging Math teacher to teach the Ontario Secondary School curriculum at our Lawrence Park campus. Experience teaching elementary and intermediate levels is an asset. While the majority of our teachers have OCT certification, we welcome qualified educators from all sectors and professional backgrounds to apply. Blyth Academy is the largest private school by enrollment in Ontario, with campuses across the province. Blyth Academy offers students, grades 5-12, a comprehensive full-time program, as well as part-time, private, semi-private, night & weekend, summer school, and online courses. In addition, Blyth Academy offers an International Summers program and Global High School where courses are taught in truly inspirational places around the world. Our primary focus is to enhance academic achievement to prepare all students for university and beyond. Here at Blyth Academy, we tailor the curriculum to the individual student, not the other way around. By taking into account each student’s learning style and extra-curricular responsibilities, we are able to customize a plan unique to the individual. Blyth Academy follows the curriculum expectations set out by the Ontario Ministry of Education. From this academic base, we integrate student interests, experiential hands on learning activities within and beyond our walls, and an empathetic approach to teaching and learning. We have developed a strategy for incorporating literacy and numeracy across the curriculum in an effort to support the provincial mandate to improve student achievement in these essential skills. We incorporate research and evidence-based inquiry and decision making approaches in the classroom that will support students’ success in both of these critical areas. The role involves small classrooms with an average of 10 students, leading to enhanced student engagement & interactions and less administrative work (i.e. report cards, marking). The academic calendar consists of 4 terms from September - June, with 3 periods per day. Educators will educate students focused on academic success and with strong parental support, and will have autonomy for their individual teaching structure and style. The position offers supportive colleagues and leadership, and flexibility to teach within the various programs (part-time; private; night school; summer school; online). Campuses are boutique, each with a unique building, atmosphere & learning environment.
