Lower Elementary Instructor- 2nd Grade

Our passion is to spread a love for what lasts to the next generation. We view education as formation and agree with Plato who said, "The purpose of education is to learn to love what is worth loving." In Classical Christian education, we believe students develop a Christ-centered foundation through memorization, narration, and good habits.

Teaching candidates should embody our Core Virtues of agape (intentional shepherd), arete (skillful instructor) and fortitudo (partnering professional). In addition, they should be equipped to fulfill our Essential Expectations and the specifics of their teaching role with enthusiasm and excellence.
