• Hold at least a bachelor’s degree in a related field.
• Display a great passion for great works of literature and should be able to cultivate a love for those studies within students.
• Implement the hallmarks of a classical education—Socratic teaching, the integration of subjects, and the integration of Christian faith to show how these disciplines reveal the nature and character of God.
• Be eager to teach classically, build a biblical worldview for students, and collaborate with other faculty members to foster integration with history, mathematics, art, and theology classes.
