Homeschool Pod Teacher

My husband and I are looking for a teacher to run our homeschool pod with about 10 kids or less for this upcoming 2025/26 school year. We are renovating a building on our property into a school house, and are hoping that whoever we hire can have a hand in creating the perfect hybrid classroom. We’re looking for someone who has a background in preK-2nd grade and has experience teaching multiple aged kids in the same room. We would like for this person to treat the school days with fluidity and freedom, giving the children access to explore their personal interests as well as working as a group. We want the kids to be exposed to reading, writing, maths, and sciences, but also spend lot of time outdoors and have real world applications of learning. We’re thinking that the school week will be Monday to Friday, with Friday being the real world/field trip/special guest appearance/out of classroom day. Monday-Thursday hours would be 9am-1pm; this time frame including lunch and recess. We would like to hire this teacher as an independent contractor, but we’re open to discussions about this further.

We can’t wait to find our perfect teacher!
