Miami Union Adventist Academy (MUAA) is seeking an energetic, mission-driven, and faith-centered Physical Education Teacher to serve students across elementary, middle, and high school grade levels. This role is more than teaching physical activity—it is a calling to promote healthy lifestyles, discipline, teamwork, and character development within a Christ-centered educational environment.

The Physical Education Teacher provides instruction in physical education, personal fitness, and age-appropriate movement skills while fostering sportsmanship, responsibility, and respect. Depending on qualifications and experience, this position may also include the role of Athletic Director, providing leadership and oversight of MUAA’s athletic programs.

Faculty at MUAA are fully engaged in the life of the school, participating in staff worships, collaborative meetings, professional learning opportunities, and school-wide activities. This position also plays a key role in supporting MUAA’s athletic culture by assisting with coaching various sports and supporting extracurricular athletic programs.

Beyond instruction, responsibilities include supervision duties, support of school events, collaboration with families and staff, and participation in student recruitment and community outreach. 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 tradition of athletic participation and student development. The successful candidate will bring enthusiasm, structure, leadership, and vision to the physical education and athletic programs while supporting the holistic development of students—physically, socially, emotionally, and spiritually.
