Latin Teacher Position

Veritas Academy of Tucson is seeking a Latin teacher beginning in the 2023-2024 academic year. Veritas Academy of Tucson is a Christian, classical school that adheres to a University Model schedule for grades K-12. This position is part time. The University Model format allows students to attend school on campus three days per week, and work at home the other two days. On home days, students read and complete practice work and projects. Parents are expected to serve as co-teachers, working alongside students and teachers to accomplish the course objectives.  The student off-campus days allow the teacher to have extra time for course preparation and grading.

Tucson is a welcoming destination city in Southern Arizona.  With 350 days of sunshine per year, many outdoor activities and opportunities await.  Southern Arizona is rich in history and culture and Tucson offers hundreds of miles of hiking and biking trails, and diverse outdoor recreation opportunities.  Tucson is also home to the University of Arizona.

Veritas is a small school of just under 200 students. We have experienced significant growth in recent years.  We take our faith and academics seriously, desiring that our students thrive not only through their coursework, but also in their knowledge of Biblical truth as they seek to understand God’s calling in their lives.
