Coming from out of state? You might be excited to learn that Nevada has no income tax and we offer an option of an employee/employer split retirement plan or an employer-only retirement plan, meaning more money in your pocket each month! 

In addition, there are lots of opportunities for increased pay and increased responsibility. From within the classroom, folks can become Pod Leaders or Instructional Coaches, take on clubs/organizations/extra duty, or more. There will also be pathways to school leadership as we grow the school over the next several years.  

In addition to competitive pay, we also offer a great benefits package, including: 

• Medical Insurance - Currently through Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield - we offer plans that are free/low-cost to most employees, including those with dependents

• Sick Time, Personal Time, and Medical Leave
• Preferred enrollment for your children at Battle Born Academy
• Retirement through Nevada's Public Employee Retirement System (PERS). 

A lot of schools talk about sustainability/wellness for educators, but we walk the walk. At Battle Born Academy, you can count on:

• Daily Prep Time - teachers have a duty-free lunch and nearly two hours of daily prep time. You need time and space to do the important work of teaching.
• Work only your contract hours - Close your computer and walk away from work when your contract ends! We don't expect night or weekend grading and we give you time to plan and collaborate during the work day.​ PD days between grading periods give time to wrap up grading and plan ahead without burdening breaks and weekends.
• Weekly staff wellness activities - Each Wednesday, when students leave early, we offer an optional on-campus wellness activity - yoga, dance, meditation, painting, and maybe even the occasional massage. 
• Multiple Mid-year Breaks - with our schedule, students have a break between trimesters. Teachers get a four-day weekend followed by a week of professional development and curriculum planning. In the Spring, we repeat the same between Trimester 2 and 3. PLUS we have a full week off for Spring Break. And don't forget the two+ week winter break!
