Head Of Science Jobs (NOW HIRING)

SOLFL is a new movement in conscious education dedicated to cultivating intellectual, emotional, and spiritual intelligence. Our first school, SOLFL עץ חיים, a K-12 Miami Torah Earth School, offers a rigorous, mutli-disiplinary curriculum that integrates hands-on, experiential learning with entrepreneurship, ecology, creative expressions and spiritual practice. Our goal is to move children away from traditional classrooms, desks and screens, into the real world. This is an irl (in real life) school aimed at cultivating the impact entrepreneurs of the future.

This role includes teaching Middle School Web of Life classes rooted in ecology, environmental solutionism, and project-based learning, as well as teaching high school science classes that directly support students’ real-world ventures and applied learning.

This person should have strong content knowledge in a scientific discipline such as Biology, Chemistry, Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, or Cell Biology. They should be able to teach with rigor while making learning practical, relevant, and connected to real-world application.

In the High School program, this person will teach science content that supports students in applying scientific knowledge through real ventures, fieldwork, problem-solving, and project execution. In the middle school program, this person will teach Web of Life as an integrated, project-based science experience rooted in environmental systems, ecology, and real-world learning.

This role requires strong classroom management, strong project management, and a highly systemized approach to planning, teaching, student tracking, and academic follow-through. This person must be able to maintain high standards in their classrooms, manage learning with structure and consistency, and collaborate closely with the Head of Science to continuously strengthen curriculum, learning experiences, and the overall scope of the program.

This role is for someone who is engaged, proactive, creative, and serious about execution.
