Third Grade Classroom Teacher

Position Description

GRADE THREE CLASSROOM TEACHER
Full-time, begins August 2025

We seek a dynamic educator to join our faculty as we come alongside parents to raise their children to be all that God desires.
The third grade teacher will be responsible as a godly role model to instruct young children according to a biblical worldview
and classical methodology, for which we provide on-going training and a mentor teacher. Our teachers enjoy children while inspiring them to high standards and the pursuit of genuine Christian faith. We prioritize partnership with our teachers, investing in individuals capable of reflecting the teachings of Christ in their lives and classrooms.

In the words of St. Augustine, “The first subject students learn is the teacher.” We believe that teachers are more than instructors—they are models for imitation; thus our commitment to excellence extends beyond academic instruction to the very essence of our teachers’ lives, reflecting Christ in all they do.

This teacher will collaborate with another third
grade teacher and be part of an experienced team. Class size at WCA averages 16 students and parents are truly partners.
