Job Description

Freedom Academy is seeking a passionate, student-centered Reading Interventionist to provide targeted literacy instruction for K–8 students who need additional support in foundational reading skills, fluency, and comprehension.

This position is ideal for an educator who loves helping struggling readers experience real progress — and who understands that effective intervention requires more than encouragement. It requires strong instruction, careful progress monitoring, collaboration, consistency, and a belief that students can grow when they are given the right support.

The Reading Interventionist will work closely with classroom teachers, Special Education staff, English Learner staff, and school leadership to identify student needs, provide evidence-based intervention, monitor growth, and strengthen literacy outcomes across the school.

What Makes Freedom Different

Freedom Academy is a K–8 charter school committed to:

Defending childhood
Reclaiming academic excellence
Restoring parental trust in education

We believe students thrive in environments that are both structured and relational. Our goal is to create a campus that feels joyful, encouraging, and deeply human — not institutional — where every child feels known, valued, and cared for.

Our team genuinely cares about one another. We laugh together, problem-solve together, support one another through challenges, and work hard to create a school environment where both students and staff can flourish.

Our Commitment to Families

At Freedom Academy, we believe strong schools are built through strong partnerships with parents.

We are committed to creating a learning environment that prioritizes academic excellence, student safety, character development, healthy childhood experiences, and transparent communication with families.

Applicants are encouraged to review our Freedom Academy Parent Pledge to better understand our school culture, values, and educational philosophy:

Freedom Academy Pledge to Parents

We believe clarity builds trust, and we are committed to ensuring strong alignment between our team, our mission, and the families we serve.
