About the Program

Atlas Immersion Academy is launching a private kindergarten program at our Silicon Forest campus this fall. Our kindergarten runs two parallel classes one French immersion, one Spanish immersion each capped at 20 students. The Lead Kindergarten Teacher serves as the English-track lead across both classrooms, co-teaching alongside a native-fluent bilingual language teacher in each.

This is a genuine co-teaching model: two equals in the room, not a lead and an aide. The academic program is rigorous and intentional, with structured literacy and math foundations, and approximately 50% of each day delivered in the target language. The contract runs August 1 through June 11, with August used for pre-opening planning, co-teacher collaboration, and classroom preparation.

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in early childhood education, elementary education, or a related field
• Teaching license (Oregon or out-of-state) preferred; strong classroom experience will be considered in place of formal licensure
• Demonstrated experience in kindergarten or early elementary instruction
• Solid grounding in kindergarten-level academics early literacy, phonics, and math foundations
• Comfort and enthusiasm working in a bilingual/multilingual environment fluency in French or Spanish is not required, but a genuine appreciation for immersion education is essential
• A collaborative spirit; this role requires real, daily partnership with two language co-teachers
• Familiarity with Singapore Math, structured literacy programs (such as CKLA or similar), or other research-backed elementary curricula is a strong plus

Why Atlas

• Salaried position with compensation commensurate with experience
• Maximum 20 students per class, with a qualified co-teacher alongside you every single day
• A school community that treats educators as professionals
• Engaged, worldly families who chose this program because they want their children genuinely challenged
• The rare opportunity to help build a new program from the ground up, with real input on how it takes shape

This is a salaried professional position. Like most classroom teaching roles, the work regularly extends beyond the instructional day planning, co-teacher collaboration, family communication, and curriculum preparation are all part of the job. Candidates should expect a typical workday of 8 or more hours.
