Micro- School Assistant Teacher

Flourish Schools • Maricopa, AZ

3d • $35,000 - $40,000 • Onsite

About The Position

Flourish is a growing network of private micro schools across the greater Phoenix area serving students in grades 3–8. We believe school should be more human, more joyful, and more intentional. Our small campuses use project-based and skills-focused learning to build curiosity, critical thinking, collaboration, and genuine student ownership. We're not a traditional school — and we're proud of it.

We're looking for an Assistant Teacher to join the team at our Maricopa campus. As an AT, you'll work as a para-professional alongside our two lead teachers, supporting students throughout the school day in a close-knit, dynamic learning environment.

This is a hands-on, relationship-driven role. You won't be grading worksheets in the back of the room — you'll be in the thick of it, helping students work through real projects, navigate challenges, and build the skills they'll carry far beyond middle school.

Requirements

• A genuine love for working with middle schoolers (grades 3–8)
• Patience, flexibility, and a growth mindset — this is not a traditional school setting
• Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to connect with students from diverse backgrounds
• Reliability and a team-first attitude; our small campuses depend on every person showing up
• A high school diploma or equivalent is required

Nice To Haves

• Prior experience working with children or youth in any capacity is a plus
• some college coursework in education or a related field preferred

Responsibilities

• Support lead teachers throughout the school day across instructional and non-instructional activities
