Position Description

Cedar Classical Academy seeks a full-time Math Teacher in the Upper School (Grades 7-12). Cedar Classical has added one grade each year since opening with grades K-6 and will now graduate its first seniors in May 2026. Cedar Classical Academy is a six-year-old school with a strong singing culture and a clear emphasis on parental partnership. A math teacher at this Academy trains students not just to find the right answer but to become good mathematicians—to do the heavy lifting of reasoning and discovery in every class. Cedar views mathematics as the language of creation intended to cultivate in students wonder, wisdom, work, and worship.

This position includes instruction in Algebra I and Euclidean Geometry. This position may include additional classes in Latin, Greek, or logic. The Academy desires to continue to offer classical languages to all students in 3rd-12th grade and is still looking to gain more Latin and Greek teachers, so proficiency in either language is strongly preferred, but a lack of proficiency should not discourage an otherwise qualified applicant from applying.

At Cedar Classical Academy, we believe that virtue is excellence of the whole person which includes both moral and intellectual aspects. From this Academy’s perspective, a student with good grades but a bad attitude is a failing student. Because of this, the Teacher will join Cedar’s eight other Upper School faculty members to cultivate students’ intellectual and moral virtue with a view toward equipping them for adulthood. The Teacher will model love of the content and joyful tenacity in the face of difficulty. The Teacher will represent and vigorously enforce the Academy’s code of conduct and policies. In addition to these specific duties, it is expected that the Teacher will model the Christian faith, discipline and disciple students, regularly incorporate Christian themes in their classes, and pray with and for students on a regular basis.

This position is a full-time, salaried position with a start date of July 1, 2025. Prior to the start date, the Teacher will attend a classical education conference in June with the rest of the staff. Teacher training is provided on campus in August. Teacher mentorship from the Head of School will be provided throughout the year. The Teacher will have a bachelor’s degree. Prior teaching experience is preferred.

The Teacher shall be a born-again believer and a member in good standing of a local church. Applicants should carefully review our Mission Statement, Vision Statement, and Statement of Faith.
