We’ve created a curriculum that respects the demands of our athletes without sacrificing intellectual rigor. Students are challenged through engaging coursework, grounded in inquiry, which encourages healthy disagreement and debate and emphasizes quality over quantity.
MAI’s academic program aims to strike a balance between well-being and learning for our student-athletes, helping them develop not only knowledge but also the skills necessary to succeed in a rapidly evolving world.

The Opportunity
Math teachers at Masters Academy ensure that students function as mathematicians every day, developing an appreciation for mathematics as both a practical tool and a powerful way of thinking. Students explore how math is used by professionals across fields and in everyday life, discovering its relevance beyond the classroom. Each week, students attempt solutions, pose questions, receive feedback, iterate, and reflect on errors to gradually master mathematical concepts while building critical thinking, reasoning, and problem-solving skills.
Our discussion- and problem-focused approach to mathematics emphasizes collaboration and communication, encouraging students to take active ownership of their learning and develop deep conceptual understanding. You’ll cultivate a classroom culture where students share their work—even when incomplete or in progress—and engage in rich discussion and debate about problem-solving strategies and approaches. Teachers guide discussions during class sessions and small-group tutorials, supporting students as they develop confidence in explaining their thinking, persevere through challenging problems, and discover how mathematics serves as a practical and powerful tool for making sense of the world around them.
What You Will Do
As a math teacher at Masters Academy, you will lead students in grades 6–12 to think and function as mathematicians, fostering both conceptual understanding and practical problem-solving skills. You will design and facilitate collaborative learning experiences, guide class discussions and small-group tutorials, and provide one-on-one support to help students articulate reasoning, defend solutions, and engage in meaningful mathematical debate. You will support students in using AI as a tool for independent learning and problem-solving, provide actionable feedback, and cultivate a classroom culture of curiosity, belonging, and respect. Partnering with families, you will communicate proactively to support each student’s academic growth and personal development.
Who You Are
You are an experienced middle and high school math teacher, capable of fostering deep understanding and a love for mathematical thinking.
