Where Sports Culture Meets the Classroom
Imagine a campus where the energy of game day and the rigor of great teaching live side by side — where your classroom conversations flow naturally into locker room mindset talks, and your students are chasing championships and college acceptance letters in the same breath.
That's SPIRE Academy.
We're one of the fastest-growing sports academies in the country, and we're looking for a Graphic Design teacher who wants to turn student-athletes into visual storytellers and brand builders — designers who create impactful communication.
If you love being around sports, thrive on hands-on and relevant learning, and want to influence the next generation of creative thinkers while elevating a agile brand, keep reading.
Who You'll Teach
Our students come from across the country and around the world — a genuinely international, diverse community of student-athletes with big goals in sport, school, and life.
You'll get to bring global perspective into your lessons and learn as much from your students as they learn from you.
What You'll Actually Do
Teach
2-3 sections of relevant, hands-on graphic design curriculum, focusing on design principles, industry-standard software, visual communication, and brand identity.
Support
marketing efforts by collaborating with the marketing team to develop clear, compelling visual collateral for external campaigns, events, and partnerships.
Create
internal communication materials, presentations, and digital assets that reinforce the SPIRE brand identity and engage the academy community.
Mentor




as an Academic Advisor for a group of students, serving as their go-to point of contact and family liaison.
Collaborate
across departments — Sports Mindset, Student Life, Corporate Partnerships, Coaching Staff, and Event Management — to build interdisciplinary, real-world learning experiences.
Partner
directly with coaches to connect classroom learning to what's happening on the field, court, or ice, finding opportunities for design to tell the story of athletic achievement.
Track
and share student growth using real data, keeping parents, faculty, and coaches in the loop.
Lead
a special interest or club activity each semester — think a design club, digital media group, or a student-led branding project — bring a passion project to life.
Support
Study Table rotations and the seminar curriculum.
Show
up at athletic events and residential life activities as a positive, engaged role model.
Get
certified to drive students to school-related activities (we'll help you get there).
Why This Role Is Different
Design for Impact.
You'll not only teach design principles but also see your students' and your own work directly contribute to the visible identity and messaging of a growing sports academy,



elevating the SPIRE brand within the Academy and with public communications.
Growth, fast.
SPIRE is expanding, and that means real opportunities for professional growth, leadership, and career exploration across education, athletics, and organizational leadership.
A team, not a silo.
You'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with coaches, mindset coaches, and student life staff — true interdisciplinary collaboration, not just faculty meetings.
Community that shows up.
Whether it's a big game or a study table session, you'll be part of a culture that shows up for its students everywhere they are.
What We're Looking For
Are credentialed educators (but we are able to hire the right person with a Master's Degree in graphic design or similar).
Build genuine, trust-based relationships with students.
Deliver high-quality, engaging instruction.
Hold students accountable to academic and character standards.
Want to guide student-athletes toward success in sport, school, leadership, and life.
Are proactive, visible, and energized by being part of a students' daily journey.
Are ready to adhere to the policies in our Faculty/Staff Handbook and support the school's mission and leadership — and to pitch in wherever the Head of School needs support.
If you're ready to teach where sports and design collide, helping student-athletes develop essential creative skills and elevate a dynamic brand — and to help build one of the fastest-growing sports academies in the country — we want to hear from you.
