High School Instructor:
Greyfriars Classical Academy & Tutorials

This part-time position (employee status, not self-employed) involves teaching high school students in grades 9
-12. Depending on the subject, our faculty teach one or two times each week, for one hour, fifteen minutes each class period (math classes are one hour each, three times per week). Expected preparation time outside of teaching will generally be two hours for each teaching hour. Courses meet for 32 weeks and pay a base rate of $2,900/$5,800/$6,650 for the year for classes meeting 1x/2x/3x each week (additional pay if the class is more than eight students, up to ~$13,000).

Subjects we offer are Literature, History, Math, Science, Language (Greek and Spanish), Aesthetics, Theology and Writing/Rhetoric. Openings are fluid as we talk with current teachers and hire new ones, so please inquire about what is available.

A bachelor’s degree or higher is required, although it is not necessary for the degree to be in the same subject area that would be taught. State teaching certification is not required. Greyfriars teachers must be knowledgeable in the subject to be taught, skilled in teaching others and sincere Christians who walk daily with the Lord in sincerity and truth. Further, teachers must demonstrate that they will care deeply about their students.

Greyfriars is a Christian high school (grades 9-12) in Matthews, NC, that is structured like a college and offers students the flexibility of both full-time and part-time (homeschool) enrollment options. Our experienced faculty members provide university-quality instruction in which the grammar (fundamental facts and rules), logic (ordered relationships), and rhetoric (expression of ideas in speech and writing) of each subject is emphasized from a decidedly biblical worldview.

The high school curriculum is academically rigorous and consistent with North Carolina standards and college preparatory requirements. Greyfriars offers classes in a university-style format (three days a week on campus; two days a week working at home), with most classes taught in blocks of 1 hour and 15 minutes each. Individual courses typically meet for class once a week (1/2 credit), twice a week (1 credit) or all three days each week (mathematics, 1 credit, which meets for 1 hour per day).

We also have a separate homeschool Tutorial Program for grades K - 8.
