Lead Teacher

Position Summary

Homeschool Classroom is seeking an enthusiastic, organized, and student-centered Florida Certified K–12 Teacher to serve as our Lead Teacher. Our program provides a structured, supportive environment where students work at their individual grade levels and receive guidance from a certified teacher. This is not a traditional whole-group classroom.

The ideal candidate is warm, patient, observant, technologically comfortable, and confident managing a diverse group of learners.
