After School Teacher

Since 1979, Action Day Elementary School has proven itself as an extraordinary environment for top achievers. Small class sizes, dedicated teachers, and STEAM-integrated curriculum ensure that our students consistently score in the 90+ percentile on statewide tests. However, what many busy parents love the most about our program are the extended-care, including summer and holiday breaks, and onsite extras. We provide dance, sports, music, art classes, an onsite STEAM lab, and more—all help to open new horizons for young minds. In 2024, Action Day Schools was voted one of the Best Places to Work in the Bay Area! We recognize the essential foundation of any school is its staff. We are proud of our heart-centered, creative, and committed teachers and school administrators who carefully challenge, respect, and encourage each child as a unique individual.  Their dedication to our programs are the reason we continue to expand, and we are seeking professional, positive, nurturing individuals to accommodate our thriving school and uphold our reputation of excellence!  Join our team as we continue to create excitement for learning in a fun and loving environment!!

Students at Action Day Elementary School have access to the latest in technology including Apple TV’s and iPads. All students are warmly accepted and guided along their educational path throughout our program. Bullying and "slipping through the cracks" simply do not happen at our school due to our small, family-like atmosphere. Students are held to high standards while enjoying school.
