Few professions, we believe, are as important as teaching! We are looking for teachers who are on fire to serve their students and families.

We welcome applications from teachers of other Christian faiths who understand their teaching as a ministry.

Additionally, we want teachers to be lifelong learners who understand their profession as a craft, who are always looking for ways to improve, who are self-starters in their professional development, who are collegial in their relationships with other teachers and with administrators, who communicate well with parents, and who care for the success of the whole school, not just their own classrooms.
