Visual Arts Faculty Long-Term Substitute ( January 20-April 3, 2020)

Mounds Park Academy is a PreK-12 independent school in Saint Paul, MN that serves approximately 500 students from throughout the Twin Cities area. For 37 years, Mounds Park Academy has engaged students in a rigorous college preparatory experience that is demanding, but not draining, and goes far beyond memorization. Students are challenged to apply their understanding to stir the human spirit, stand for justice, and shake the world. This is what we call rigor with purpose and it grounds our students in the radical idea that their identity in the world is not measured by a test score, but rather by the depth and decency of their impact on the world.

 

Mounds Park Academy seeks a long-term substitute to join our Visual Arts faculty. Specifically, this candidate will teach 8th grade art, Upper School printmaking, and Upper School photography (beginning and advanced).  All visual art teachers at MPA are responsible for providing a classroom instructional program that supports the individual needs of all students in accordance with the school’s mission and values. We seek individuals passionate about teaching middle and high school age students with practicing artist experience and/or degrees in art, art-education, or related fields.
