The Erindale Academy is seeking an exceptional educator to help redefine what middle school learning can be.

We are launching School 2.0, an cutting-edge educational model that combines project-based learning, AI literacy, design thinking, entrepreneurship, outdoor education, and interdisciplinary learning to prepare students for the future.
