Teacher / Coach

Teachers at Ali Academy are considered "Coaches." We feel the term coach is more accurate. The greatest impact an educator can have is to inspire a child to believe in their own greatness. If inspirator was a word that's what we'd call our teachers. Coaches never give up on their students, coaches teach, but they also support, they hold their team accountable, they not only teach techniques and skills but also character, they talk to your parents and other adults in your life to make sure you’re on track, they express a deep love that goes beyond the content, beyond the game, beyond the school as they try to teach you lessons that you will need in life. They inspire you to be better today than you were yesterday. Sometimes they believe in you more than you believe in yourself. Everyone deserves a coach.
