    About SAGE PREP

    At SAGE PREP, we believe children are capable of more than the world often expects of them. Our after school program gives elementary scholars a place to finish strong: support with assignments, rich learning experiences, and a safe, joyful space to grow with friends. We are looking for an After School Teacher who will make every afternoon count.

    Who You Are

    You love children and genuinely enjoy the energy of elementary-aged scholars. You are cool-tempered, friendly, and dependable, the kind of person scholars trust and colleagues can count on. You balance an inventive mind with practical judgment, so your activities are both creative and well-organized. When disagreements come up between scholars, you stay calm and help them work it out. You show up on time, ready to lead from the moment scholars walk through the door.
