Working at UT University Academy has been fulfilling both personally and professionally. I feel supported and encouraged. I love how the leadership has a growth mindset approach and every opportunity is approached with that style. I have learned so much, not only about education and teaching, but about myself as well. I feel like I am part of a community and am valued as a teacher and a person. It's an honor to be at a place that values and nurtures growth for their employees.

What makes UA truly special is the sense of family you feel the moment you walk in. Everyone here genuinely cares — not just about the work, but about one another. We step in to support each other, share ideas, and lift one another up because we all know we’re working toward the same goal: helping every student succeed. That unity makes the hard days easier and the good days even better.
