Bible and History Teacher

Position Description

About the Position

Full-Time Humanities and Logic Instructor, Grades 7–8
Bible and History Instructor, Grades 4–6

Knight’s Christian Academy seeks a teacher who loves Christ, delights in learning, and desires to help students grow in wisdom, virtue, and a love for truth, goodness, and beauty. As a classical Christian school, we view teaching as both an academic calling and an opportunity to disciple young people, helping them understand God’s world and live faithfully within it.

The ideal candidate will bring a strong background in literature, history, and biblical studies; excellent oral and written communication skills; and the ability to guide students in careful reading, thoughtful discussion, and sound reasoning. We seek someone who appreciates the curiosity, energy, and challenges of the upper elementary and middle school years and approaches students with patience, warmth, and clear expectations.

At KCA, we desire classrooms marked by meaningful engagement, respectful conversation, diligent work, and joyful learning. Our teachers intentionally cultivate habits of attentiveness, responsibility, kindness, and stewardship. They build relationships that allow them to encourage and correct students with consistency, grace, and a desire for their growth in Christ.

Current courses include Omnibus I Primary and Secondary for grades 7–8. Together, these courses integrate history, theology, and literature, with a primary emphasis on the ancient world from Creation through the fall of Rome. The position also includes Logic instruction for grades 7–8 and Bible and History instruction for grades 4–6.

This is a full-time position, with approximately 3–5 instructional periods and 1–3 planning periods per day. The position may be divided into two part-time roles depending on candidates’ strengths and availability.

• Collaborate with colleagues and participate in faculty meetings, professional development, and the broader life of the school.

Desired Qualifications and Experience

• A growing relationship with Jesus Christ and a desire to model Christian faith and character for students.
