Middle School Director of Enrichment

Since 1984, Action Day Middle School has proven itself as an extraordinary environment for top achievers. Small class sizes, dedicated teachers, and a high school preparatory curriculum ensure that our students consistently score in the 90+ percentile on statewide tests. However, what many busy parents love the most about our program are the extended care, including summer and holiday breaks, and onsite extras. We provide many electives and after-school activities including dance, sports, music, expressive arts, computer science, and more—all of which help to open new horizons for young minds. We recognize the essential foundation of any school is its staff. To accommodate our thriving school, we are seeking creative, positive, nurturing individuals to uphold our reputation of excellence. Join our team!
