Job Description
Worcester Cultural Academy Public Charter School is seeking a creative and passionate art teacher to join our growing founding team in Worcester, MA. This is a part-time (.6) position (4 days per week, 6 hours per day) and a genuine opportunity to shape what art education looks like at a school that takes student work seriously. We are looking for culturally competent educators with experience working in diverse schools with English Language Learners and students with IEPs. We welcome candidates who reflect the cultural diversity of our community.
Who We Are
WCA is a growing charter public school that opened in August 2023 with a vision of becoming a K-8 community. We launched with kindergarten and have added a grade every year since - this fall we welcome our first 7th graders. As an EL (Expeditionary Learning) Education school, we believe in hands-on learning that challenges students to grow in three dimensions: mastery of knowledge and skills, character, and high-quality work. We partner with organizations like the EcoTarium, Worcester Art Museum, and Hanover Theater and anchor our curriculum in Learning Expeditions that make learning meaningful and real. This is a school where teachers are leaders and co-creators - and we're building something worth being part of.
We want to be honest with prospective candidates: this is energizing, demanding work. Even in a part-time capacity, we ask our staff to bring full commitment to our students and mission. Our expectations are high, our community is close-knit, and we ask everyone on our team to show up as a full member of it. If that excites you, you'll fit right in.
What You'll Do
Design and deliver engaging, student-centered art lessons across grades K-7 that build creative skill, visual literacy, and genuine pride in high-quality work
Connect art instruction to Learning Expeditions and cross-curricular themes wherever possible, reinforcing the school-wide commitment to real-world, meaningful learning
Differentiate instruction to meet the diverse needs of all learners, including English Language Learners and students with IEPs, using culturally responsive teaching practices
Maintain a classroom environment that is inclusive, joyful, and conducive to creative risk-taking for students of all ages and backgrounds
Engage students in portfolio-based reflection on their growth as artists and contributors to the school community
Communicate proactively with families and colleagues about student progress and classroom experiences
Contribute to school culture beyond the art room - supporting events, exhibitions, and school-wide initiatives that celebrate student work
Take on responsibilities as needed and show up as a flexible, mission-aligned member of our team
What You Bring
Bachelor's degree or higher from an accredited college or university
Massachusetts DESE license in Visual Art (or eligibility for licensure)
Massachusetts Sheltered English Immersion (SEI) Teacher Endorsement (or willingness to obtain)
Experience teaching art across a range of grade levels, with an understanding of how creative development shifts from early childhood through middle school
A genuine belief that art is not a special - it's a core part of how children learn, express, and grow
Willingness to collaborate with classroom teachers and integrate art into the broader curriculum
A collaborative spirit and commitment to a team-oriented, mission-driven culture
Flexibility, persistence, and enthusiasm for being part of something still being built
Part-time (benefits-eligible)-0.6
Salary commensurate with experience; $31,537-$48,601
Benefits:
Dental insurance
Employee assistance program
Employee discount
Flexible spending account
Health insurance

Welcome to ATX Learning
Old Sturbridge Academy Charter Public School will provide k-8 students with rigorous, real world learning experiences in a supportive and nurturing school community, helping all students to become reflective inquisitors, articulate communicators, critical thinkers, and skilled problem solvers. Old Sturbridge Academy Charter Public School, an EL Education school working in partnership with Old Sturbridge Village, will foster a learning environment that represents all aspects of the diversity spectrum where our students will meet or exceed grade-level expectations in all subject areas. The school will be distinguished by four key elements of EL Education: a commitment to community, a commitment to high-quality work, a commitment to real world applications and a commitment to imagination, exploration and immersion. A culture of quality will permeate the school and our students will graduate with an understanding of how they learn best and how to advocate for the resources they need when they are challenged.
