Extended Care Teacher – Immanuel Lutheran School, Alexandria, VA

Position Description

Immanuel Lutheran School (ILS) is a mission of Immanuel Lutheran Church in Alexandria, Virginia, right outside our nation’s capital. We are seeking extended care teachers to supervise and assist with our morning and afternoon childcare programs. This teacher can serve in shifts or for full weeks either for morning care (7:00–8:00am) or various times for or the full duration of afternoon care (3:30–6:00pm).

ILS is a classical Christian school serving grades Jr.K–8 that endeavors to teach children the True, the Good, and the Beautiful. As a classical school, it draws on the understanding of the three stages of learning—grammar, logic, and rhetoric—to help children build a base of knowledge, learn to ask critical questions, and build cogent arguments. Divided into a Lower School (grades Jr.K–4) and an Upper School (grades 5–8), Immanuel offers a joyful team environment where teachers are excited to share a love of Christ and a thirst for knowledge with their students every day of the school year. One of the joys of having a school that serves children as young as four all the way through 14 is that an Upper School teacher has the opportunity to help their students see themselves as role models and leaders for the younger children.

The extended care teacher will be responsible for up to 10 students if working alone or more when working with another teacher. The extended care teacher is responsible for maintaining the safety and care for students who arrive early before or stay late after the school day. Training will be provided.

Applicants should have a driver’s license and should be committed Christians. More information about Immanuel Lutheran Church and School can be found at immanuelalexandria.org. Applicants should send a cover letter and CV to [email protected].
