Welcome

Thanks for your interest in joining the ROOTS team! When Kristy and I founded ROOTS Academy in 2012, our dream was simple: to create a place where students of all ages could learn, grow, and discover their creative potential in a safe, inspiring environment.

Today, that dream has grown into a vibrant community of more than 1,300 students and 90 team members—musicians, dancers, and performers who are passionate about growth, creativity, and connection.

At ROOTS, everything we do is guided by The ROOTS Way, our framework for growth and leadership:

Mindset Matters – Growth begins with the right mindset.
Excellence Matters – We strive for our best in everything we do.
People Matter – Every student, family, and instructor is valued.

If you’re someone who believes in the power of the arts to inspire and transform, we’d love for you to explore our open positions below and see how you can make an impact here at ROOTS.

Warmly,

-Kyle
