Humanities Teacher

SJI (DC, NOVA) is hiring for a teacher of Humanities for the  school year. The Humanities Teacher will guide students through the Seminar in the Humanities in which students will take up the deepest questions of human existence through oral and written reflection upon significant literary and artistic works. This writing-intensive study, at once historical and thematic, aims at cultivating thought and imagination by incorporating students into the Great Tradition of Christian Humanism.

The seminar will focus on complete primary works, although reference and supplemental material will be used to give a more thorough understanding of the historical events, philosophic principles, and artistic expressions informing each work.

Successful applicants will demonstrate a flourishing intellectual and moral life, a comprehensive understanding of the SJI Educational Plan, as well as pedagogical expertise in the seminar method.
