Job Description:
Our High School Math program is seeking qualified candidates
starting for 2024-2025 Academic School Year.
Candidates should have experience in teaching mathematics at the
high school level (Algebra I and above). Though not required,
preference will be given to candidates with a demonstrated ability
to teach a diversity of learning styles, including both honors and
non-honors courses.
In addition to formal experience, candidates should demonstrate
the desire to cultivate the mathematical affections of students – to
not only deepen their critical thinking and ability to problem solve
but to structure lessons and curriculum so as to entice students to
develop more positive dispositions, attitudes, and perspectives
towards mathematics. Candidates should be in agreement with our Math
Department Philosophy (see attached).
Candidates must be able to articulate how their Christian faith
influences and integrates with their understanding and teaching of mathematics.

About the School of Rhetoric
Our High School’s unofficial motto might be ‘work hard, play
hard, laugh hard’. Though rigorous in curriculum and expectations,
our student body is made up of academically average and above
average students, almost all of whom are involved in Athletics,
Performing and Visual Arts, clubs and societies, and service to the
school and community. Ours is a balance of exhorting students to not
accept low expectations for what young people can do while also
helping them make hard decisions between multiple
"excellent" things.
At the center of our education in the high school are analysis
and critical thinking--the students' ability and exercise of
understanding and ordering their knowledge on any particular topic
into the context of their understanding of everything else.
Articulating in writing and speech both questions and understanding
are therefore regular and constant activity in all subjects. We
deliberately foster an environment that encourages mature personal
relationships and individual study. While education inherently
includes graded performance on assessments and tests which can
foster anxiety and unhealthy competition, the environment most
conducive to learning is relaxed, personal, and safe--a result of
relationships with adults whom are trustworthy, caring, and
supportive. Those relationships are the most important asset in our school.
