Upper School Humanities

Position Description

Augustine Classical Academy

Mechanicville, NY

POSITION AVAILABLE: Upper School Humanities

Augustine Classical Academy located in upstate NY seeks a teacher passionate about sharing a love for learning in the context of discipling students to be like their perfect teacher, Jesus.  As a classical Christian school, we believe that all education is discipleship and that our hunger for knowledge stems from a desire to know our Creator and Redeemer more fully.  We feed our students with a biblical understanding of all disciplines, whetting appetites and establishing habits that will serve them well as life-long learners. Our students are always growing in independence and maturity.  A successful Upper School teacher will note the strengths and challenges facing students during these years of transition, play to their strengths, challenge them to grow in virtue,  and enable them to thrive. He or she will also work collaboratively with other faculty, a mature and committed community of educators compassionately training these students.

A qualified candidate will be capable of teaching Early European Literature and History, American Literature and History, and Classical Rhetoric.

Consider joining our talented faculty and welcoming community for the upcoming 2022-2023 school year.  For more information and to request an application, contact [email protected]

We desire to create a school that plays an active part in the revitalization of the Christian intellectual community. We are driven not out of academic pride but by the conviction that because God reveals Himself to us through His written word, our students should be masters of both written and spoken language; because God created our physical world and is the author of the order in it, our students should be conversant in the languages of mathematics and science; because God’s aesthetic is revealed in His creation, our students should have a well-developed understanding and appreciation of beauty through the study of music and the visual arts. In short, we envision a school whose students see the world as God does, and who are equipped to bring glory to Him throughout their lives.
