Job Description

Renaissance Public School Academy is currently hiring a full-time Custodian.

Renaissance Academy engages students in the world around them as they set goals, develop skills, and explore areas of passion. We know that people who can creatively solve problems, work collaboratively with a diverse population, communicate with precision and clarity, and think critically using logic and reason will be successful under any circumstances.

That’s why we have embraced PBL and a developmental approach that respects students’ intellectual, social, and emotional development. In our K-8 school, students are placed in teams where genuine differentiation is taking place with students working in centers and with partners on work that challenges them. The student experience is at the center of our work and is guided by the belief that learning is fun and rewarding and school is a great place to be!

RPSA is a public charter school that opened in 1996. In that time, it has enjoyed Reward school status from the Michigan Department of Education as well as increasing enrollment and respect in the community. RPSA values and builds upon its relationships with community partners like the Saginaw-Chippewa Tribe, Keepin’ It Local in the 989, and Kids Hope Mentoring. These partnerships, along with a board of directors that supports PBL and teachers through their strategic planning and budgeting, make Renaissance Public School Academy a truly different and rewarding place to work.
