About Saint Joseph Academy

Saint Joseph Academy (SJA) is an independent, TK-12, classical school faithful to the Magisterium of the Roman Catholic Church. Our mission is to form vibrant young men and women who are prepared for life and formed for heaven. We offer a traditional learning environment that blends faith and reason, utilizing classical and modern pedagogy to help every student reach their God‑given potential.

Position Summary

Saint Joseph Academy is seeking a competent, faith‑filled, and academically rigorous Part‑Time High School Math Teacher.

We are looking for the “right fit” for our community and are willing to structure the part‑time schedule around a teacher’s expertise in a single subject area.

Beyond technical instruction, the successful candidate will integrate the Classical tradition‑emphasizing logical reasoning and the beauty of mathematical order‑into the curriculum, helping students see mathematics as a reflection of the Divine Mind.

Maintain a classroom environment of “continual joy of spirit,” discipline, and reverence, in accordance with the school’s virtue‑based disciplinary policies.

Maintain regular and professional communication with parents regarding student progress and participate in parent‑teacher conferences as needed.

Attend faculty meetings, retreats, and professional development sessions.
