MIRUS ACADEMY 

Open Positions: 

Mirus Academy is a small school with very low teacher turnover, so open positions do not often occur.   For the 2026-2027 school year, we are currently seeking a PART-TIME SCHOOL COUNSELOR.  Please view this document for details: School Counselor Position 

​

About our School: 

Established in 2006, Mirus Academy is a fully accredited high school that is small and family-like by design.  With a student population of around 30 students and 5 staff, the school appeals to families who are seeking an alternative to large, stressful, and impersonal schools.  The goal of the school is to provide a friendly and nurturing environment where a student's uniqueness is celebrated and their individuality is embraced.

​

About our Students: 

Mirus classes are small, with an average of 8 students per class.  The students are generally bright, well-behaved, and motivated.  We do not accept students with discipline problems or in need of curriculum modification.  Many have been identified as "Gifted & Talented", and many students are neurodivergent.  Our classes may be mixed-age (small classes may be combined, and gifted students may be placed according to ability rather than age).    

​

About our Work Environment:

Our teachers report that Mirus Academy is a fun, upbeat, and nurturing place to work. They appreciate having classroom autonomy and a friendly work environment, and they are especially glad that Mirus does not participate in STAAR testing.  As a result, Mirus Academy experiences high teacher satisfaction and very low staff turn-over.      

  

About our Salaries:

Because most Mirus teachers are part-time employees, teacher salary is calculated at an hourly rate that is competitive with Katy ISD salaries.  Payroll taxes are deducted and a W-2 tax form is provided at the end of the year. Benefits (such as health insurance or retirement plans) are not provided.
