Our Mission: Pensar Academy exists to develop middle school students with the essential skills to be successful in the 21st century. The essential skills are creativity, collaboration, critical thinking, and communication.

Our culture: We love coming to work each day. Teaching is viewed as a lifestyle, not a job. We are those people grabbing brochures on vacation, collecting job applications at a fast food restaurant, or snapping pics at the CSI museum in Vegas, because “hey, that would make a great lesson.” We believe in saying what we are going to do, outlining how we are going to do it, and demonstrating how we got it done. Teaching is part science, part art, and part tradecraft. Our campus has an energized and positive feel to it and we are very serious about it. If this resonates with you, please continue reading below.
