About SOLFL

SOLFL is a new movement in conscious education dedicated to cultivating intellectual, emotional, and spiritual intelligence. Our first school, SOLFL עץ חיים, a K-12 Miami Torah Earth School, offers a rigorous, mutli-disiplinary curriculum that integrates hands-on, experiential learning with entrepreneurship, ecology, creative expressions and spiritual practice. Our goal is to move children away from traditional classrooms, desks and screens, into the real world. This is an irl (in real life) school aimed at cultivating the impact entrepreneurs of the future.

About the Role

The Head of Mathematics, Physics, and Engineering leads high school teaching and department development across mathematics, physics, and applied engineering-related learning. This person must be able to teach high school mathematics across Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Geometry, Pre-Calculus, Calculus and Statistics.

This role is both instructional and strategic. This person will teach high school Math and, when needed, Physics, while also helping shape the school’s Math curriculum and supporting integrated learning experiences connected to real-world student ventures.

A key part of this role is supporting the Design Studio, a school arena where students develop products, prototypes, and solutions connected to their in-real-life ventures. Because of this, a strong background in Math, Physics, and engineering thinking is important. This person should be able to help bridge academic content with design, technical thinking, problem-solving, and product development.

As Department Head, this person will be responsible for both teaching and administration. They must have strong classroom management, strong project management, a highly systemized approach to their work, and strong academic governance related to their classes and department responsibilities. They should also be willing to support the design of Math curriculum and integrated learning projects in the middle school program.

Comfort with and interest in technology, robotics, and AI is highly desirable.

Core Responsibilities

Teach high school Math across Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Geometry, Pre-Calculus, Calculus and Statistics
Deliver strong, rigorous instruction while helping students see Math as practical, useful, and connected to real-world work
Help students apply mathematical thinking to problem-solving, modeling, design, analysis, and decision-making
Build student confidence and fluency in core mathematical concepts and skills

Help students connect Physics concepts to real systems, design challenges, movement, forces, energy, and product development
Bring engineering thinking into instruction where relevant, especially in ways that support real-world application

Support the Design Studio as a learning arena for student product development tied to in-real-life ventures
Help students apply Math, Physics, and technical reasoning to design, prototyping, testing, and iteration
Collaborate with other faculty to ensure student ventures are supported by strong quantitative and technical thinking
