Cedar Classical Academy seeks a full-time Homeroom Teacher in the combined 3rd & 4th grade class (20-24 students).

The Teacher will teach history, literature, theology, and science for the combined class, as well as one grade of math, orthography, and grammar. The Teacher will work closely with other faculty to build a seamless grade-to-grade continuity when it comes to both academic and character expectations. The Teacher will preserve and build the schoolwide culture of singing and storytelling.

The Teacher will embrace the classical and Christian nature of the school by filling students’ school days with rich content, engaging lessons, vivid language, challenging questions, and Christian themes. In addition to these specific duties, the Teacher will model the Christian faith to students and as a representative of the school’s mission. The Teacher will address poor behavior and patterns of sin in their students, praying with and for students on a regular basis.

This position is a full-time, salaried position with a start date of July 1. Teacher training is provided on campus in August.
