If you are interested in a teaching position, please email Katelynne Eid (Katelynne.eid@gmail.com) and include: your resume (if relevant), the ages of any children who would attend the program or need childcare, if you are comfortable teaching catechism and what grades you would be interested in.
We are looking for teachers for all grades – Kindergarten through 8th grade, as well as nursery/preschool staff.
Teachers will work on campus 2 days per week with a set daily rate. Their responsibilities will include teaching the curriculum for all core subjects in their assigned grade as well as co-teaching 2 elective classes per semester (electives will be combined grades).
Teachers will not be required to prepare lesson plans. Lesson plans are done by the administration and will be provided to teachers and families in advance.
There will be a nursery/preschool option provided for those teaching on campus who have young children.
The main mission of our hybrid program is to create a rich, traditional Catholic community that fosters a strong foundation of our faith for our students and their families. Catechism is a core component of the education for all grades. While we encourage our staff to be practicing Catholics, it is not a requirement. We do, however, require all staff to uphold Catholic teachings while on campus.
It is not required that you be a certified teacher to apply. This position would be perfect for former or retired teachers or homeschool parents whose children attend the program.
