2nd/3rd Grade Teacher

The Classical Academy in Alton, Iowa seeks a full-time classroom teacher for a blended 2nd/3rd grade classroom. TCA's mission is to cultivate Christian piety by directing students' minds and hearts toward Christ, in whom all truth, goodness, and beauty hold together. We seek to develop a culture of joy, wonder, and gratitude through a classical education in the liberal arts tradition. All TCA faculty must heartily believe, promote, and defend TCA’s Statement of Faith and Statement on Character and Conduct. Teachers hold a central role in helping us fulfill our mission by effectively teaching their assigned subjects, limiting the use of technology in the classroom, and cultivating a classroom culture that reflects the pursuit of virtue and exemplifies the conduct and character fitting to disciples of Christ. TCA teachers will foster an atmosphere of joy, wonder, and gratitude through learning; will consistently follow TCA’s conduct and discipline policies; will maintain a studious and orderly classroom environment; and will consistently show love to all students, regardless of their behavior.
