CURRENT VACANCIES

Headwaters Academy has established itself as the academic school of choice in the Georgian Triangle.  Our students are, on average, greater than 2 grade levels ahead of their peers.  All of our teachers describe working at Headwaters as their “dream job” because every decision we make is based in what is best for our students and their growth.  Our school has been built, from the ground up, around how students best thrive and learn.
Working at Headwaters Academy is an entirely different teaching experience.  Small class sizes, the one room schoolhouse ideal, and our position on 200 acres with daily cross country skiing or running are key ingredients to ensuring that our students thrive.
