Saint Paul, United States Mounds Park Academy Full time
Job DescriptionJob Description

Mounds Park Academy is a PreK-12 independent school in Saint Paul, MN that serves approximately 575 students from throughout the Twin Cities area. Since 1982, Mounds Park Academy has engaged students in a rigorous college preparatory experience that is demanding, but not draining, and goes far beyond memorization. Students are challenged to apply their understanding to stir the human spirit, stand for justice, and shake the world. This is what we call rigor with purpose, and it grounds our students in the radical idea that their identity in the world is not measured by a test score, but rather by the depth and decency of their impact on the world.

MPA is committed to embracing diversity, seeking equity, and continually striving to be truly inclusive. As a community, MPA is focused on fostering a safe and inclusive space for all, aspiring to be cognizant of gender identity and equality, religious understanding, socio-economic diversity, and racial justice.

MPA seeks an extended day program assistant for Grades K-8: This position will work 3 hours a day (3 pm to 6 pm) on school days between August 28, 2023 and June 4, 2024, working with students in K-Grade 8. Opportunities for additional working hours will be available on days school is closed (including around holidays, spring break, and conference/meeting days). The extended day assistant will also have the opportunity to work near-full time hours in the summer of 2024 if desired and available.

The ideal candidate can work as part of a team, supervise and work well with students, and effectively communicate with parents. In addition, this candidate should have the ability to plan and implement interactive activities for students. The candidate must be committed to the MPA philosophy. This position is not eligible for benefits.

It is expected that a successful candidate would:

  • have a passion for working with children.
  • be responsible, creative, and organized.
  • be reliable and dependable.
  • have strong people skills to interact with the children, parents, and staff.
  • have prior experience working with children in a school, daycare, or camp setting.
  • have the ability to plan and implement age-appropriate activities.
  • support and implement the mission of Mounds Park Academy.

Our ideal candidate will also have the following:

  • CPR/First Aid Certification
  • Two years experience working in a daycare/extended care setting and/or other educational setting


Applicants from diverse backgrounds are encouraged to apply, as Mounds Park Academy is dedicated to better reflecting our student body and the Twin Cities area through this addition to our exceptional faculty and staff. Information about our school may be found at www.moundsparkacademy.org.


Mounds Park Academy is an equal-opportunity employer.
