Fusion Academy is an alternative, college-prep private school for grades 6-12 that offers class sizes as small as they come: just one student and one teacher in each private classroom.  Here, the educational experience is completely customized around each student.  Classes are self-paced, and the material is presented in a way that considers each student’s interests, strengths, and learning style.

Students may attend Fusion Academy full-time, or enroll in Fusion Learning Center’s tutoring, summer, and classes for credit programs as an educational supplement.

The heart of our philosophy at Fusion is that students want to succeed, and that each student has a right to do so.  Given the correct, individualized support; appropriate, challenging education; and a warm, trusting environment, every child can reach his or her greatest potential.

A minimum of a Bachelor's Degree is required for consideration, as well as a higher level math and/or science background. Teaching credentials are a plus but are not mandatory. Experience with students with learning differences and ADD/ADHD is a plus.  Interest and ability to teach additional subjects is highly prized.

This position provides a one-to-one teaching experience in the areas of English Composition, Literature, Language Arts, World and U.S. History, Government and Economics.  Subject matter knowledge in a majority of these areas must be solid; candidate must be prepared to teach and tutor material at a high school level immediately. In addition to subject matter tutoring and teaching, this position includes significant student mentoring.  

Part-time positions, ramping up to full-time as enrollment continues to grow, are available starting immediately. Candidates should be available for full-time training.

Fusion is a unique place to work, teach and learn. Fusionites are creative, in touch with their wacky side, and embrace change. They are passionate in their relationships with students and co-workers. They communicate honestly and with compassion. Fusion teachers join our family for more than just a paycheck; they seek to work with peers who share these values. Fusion is growing rapidly, and offers considerable opportunity for career advancement.
