Part-Time Academic Assistant; Study Hall Monitor

Three days per week from 9 am – 3:20 pm.

St. Ambrose Academy is seeking an Academic Assistant to join our team of committed educators as we strive to assist parents in the formation of their children through a classical education rooted in the Catholic faith. The primary responsibility of an Academic Assistant is to coach students in cultivating strong study habits while supervising study halls; secondary responsibilities include lunch supervision and the direction of a student cleaning crew at the end of the day.

Study Halls rose Academy are an integral part of the classical curriculum. As students prepare for graduation and look back on what skills they have learned and are particularly grateful for, studying skills are often mentioned! The persistence to overcome distraction or persevere through a particularly difficult assignment gives them the self-confidence that they can overcome greater and greater challenges. Study Halls are intentionally managed to achieve these outcomes.

All study halls begin with a period of silent study, which helps students work through assignments on their own. Most study halls will follow that with “collaboration time,” in which students are able to work together on group projects, collaborate on assignments, or just hang out.

St. Ambrose Academy is a 6–12 grade private Catholic classical academy located in Madison, Wisconsin with a rapidly growing student body and a vibrant Catholic community.
