About the Opportunity
We are seeking an energetic and mission-aligned Founding Years Physical Education (P.E.) Teacher to join our team at ECPA. In this role, you will design and lead a dynamic and culturally responsive physical education program that develops our students' physical literacy, health knowledge, sportsmanship, and self-discipline.
As a founding-years P.E. teacher, you will have the rare opportunity to join a team still in its infancy and build a comprehensive, engaging, and equity-driven health and fitness curriculum that supports the physical and social-emotional well-being of middle school boys. You will also play a vital role in establishing a schoolwide culture that values teamwork, perseverance, and character through movement, sport, and physical health education.
You will join a team committed to building a school where young men are affirmed, held to high expectations, and equipped with the habits, discipline, and self-belief needed to thrive in high school, college, and life. As ECPA expands from its inaugural cohort toward full scale, your work will help develop the physical literacy, teamwork, and personal discipline that empower students to lead healthy lives - young men who understand their bodies, take ownership of their well-being, and carry confidence, resilience, and character into life and every arena they enter.
This is a unique opportunity for an experienced and visionary educator who is passionate about physical education, youth development, and health equity - and who wants to build a legacy of wellness and empowerment in the lives of young men in New Haven.
