Logic/Rhetoric Teacher & Upper School Administrative Assistant

Logic and Rhetoric Teacher/Upper School Administrative Assistant

Full Time, Begins August 2024

We seek a dynamic educator and skilled administrator to join our faculty as we come alongside parents to raise their children to be all that God desires.  

As an instructor of Logic and Rhetoric this teacher will join a strong Upper School faculty and will be responsible as a godly role model to instruct our teens according to a biblical worldview and classical methodology, for which we provide on-going training.  Our desire is for a teacher who loves students of this age, has appropriate background in the disciplines of Rhetoric and Logic, and may be a generalist enough to teach in another subject if desired.
