Upper School Art Teacher

Position Description

DV Classical seeks a Logic & Rhetoric School (Grades 7-12) Art teacher able to foster the
wonder and creativity of his/her students and then channel that wonder into a commitment
to technical skill and mastery. His/her knowledge of classical forms and artistic movements
informs his/her teaching and inspires his/her vision for classical, Christian artists who take
the Creation Mandate seriously. He/she recognizes that his/her students are responsible for
creating in the image of their Creator. He/she embraces a generational view of his/her role,
knowing that even the most committed Christians (including colleagues) may need great
help understanding the importance of art in the Christian life, and that reclaiming a right
understanding of art within the Church and classical education may take generations. The
ideal art teacher seeks to be a thought and vision partner with a classical, Christian school
which aims to foster that right understanding and works alongside parents in making art an
important part of their daily lives. Click here for full position profile.
