American History Teacher

Position Description

HISTORY TEACHING POSITION

Jackson Hole Classical Academy seeks a teacher for a high-school Civics & Government course, a high-school American Humane Letters course, and a middle-school American History & Geography course.  Ideal candidates for this position will demonstrate a thorough knowledge of American literature, history, and political philosophy from the American founding to the present.

JH Classical Academy pursues skilled teachers who love their subjects and their students and are familiar with classical content and methods, and preferably experienced with Charlotte Mason’s approach to habit formation.

High expectations are set for students, and teachers provide a high level of support.  Similarly, we expect our teachers to embrace an ethic of personal and professional growth, and leadership equips them with classical training.  Teachers serve as models, guides, and mentors to help students reach their human and God-given potential.

The curriculum of JH Classical Academy focuses upon Western Civilization and embraces the Christian heritage that is foundational to American democracy.  The Academy seeks teachers who long to participate in the renewal of education and, through it, the renewing of American culture.  Our teachers challenge the mind and the heart of students, cultivating within them a love for what is true, good, and beautiful and a desire to pursue lives of virtue.

Jackson Hole Classical Academy (JHCA) provides a classical education in the Christian tradition for the purpose of cultivating within children the wisdom and habits of virtue necessary for them to discover and fulfill their God-given potential and to contribute to a flourishing and free society.  JHCA is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt religious organization formed under the laws of the State of Wyoming for the purpose of operating a private Christian school.  We teach and promote the Christian faith and tradition, biblical literacy, and a deep knowledge within each subject matter through Christ-centered faculty and staff. A new facility is under construction that will double our capacity in Fall, 2025.  In anticipation of future growth, we do encourage excellent teachers seeking positions other than those currently open to begin a dialogue with us now.

Jackson Hole, gateway to both Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone National Park, is visually stunning and offers an unsurpassed quality of life.  Weekend and summer recreation opportunities abound.  The attractiveness of Jackson makes housing difficult to find, so the Academy assists incoming teachers in finding suitable housing.
