Description

Two (2) Positions available: 1 - Upper Elementary and 1 - Lower Elementary

Miami Union Adventist Academy (MUAA) is seeking a passionate, nurturing, and faith-centered Elementary School Teacher to join our growing academic community. This role is more than a teaching position—it is a calling to build strong foundations in literacy, numeracy, character, and faith during a child’s most formative years, within a Christ-centered learning environment.

The ideal candidate will provide instruction in core elementary subjects, serve as a homeroom teacher, support students academically and socially, and actively participate in school life. Faculty at MUAA are fully engaged in the school's mission—participating in staff worship, collaborative planning, professional learning opportunities, and community-building activities.

Beyond the classroom, this role includes supervision duties, parent communication, and participation in student recruitment and school events. MUAA is supported by a committed school board, surrounding constituent churches, and a forward-thinking conference office dedicated to strengthening Adventist education in the Miami area.

Miami Union Adventist Academy has a strong history of academic and spiritual growth. The successful candidate will not only deliver high-quality, developmentally appropriate instruction but will also contribute creativity, care, and leadership to help enhance our elementary program.

If you are an educator who believes in nurturing the whole child—academically, spiritually, socially, and emotionally—and you desire to work alongside a dedicated, mission-driven team, MUAA may be the place God is calling you to serve.
