U Prep Hiring Math Teachers at $100K Salary | Detroit

Great math teachers change lives. Now University Prep Schools is paying like it.

U Prep just launched the Model Teachers of Secondary Mathematics Program. We're hiring 10 exceptional math teachers for our Detroit middle and high schools. Every Model Teacher earns a $100,000 base salary and a $5,000 signing bonus.

Why Math, and Why Now

Math opens doors. It leads to college, careers, and choices that can change a young person's life. Our scholars need to leave middle and high school confident in math, and that starts with extraordinary teachers.

"Math is a gateway subject. It opens doors to college, careers, and options that can change a young person's life trajectory."Djeneba "DJ" Cherif, CEO and Superintendent, University Prep Schools
