Employment Form

Tell us about yourself (name, marriage status, number of children, etc).

Where do you attend church?

Do you affirm the Nicene Creed (filioque optional)?

What is your experience of classical education?

Name 3 books on educational philosophy that have influenced you.

Do you read or speak Latin?

Do you speak any other languages?

Are you comfortable with memorization (example: memorizing a poem in advance to teach it to the class)?

Are you familiar with the concept of poetic knowledge? If so, tell in your own words what this means.

Are you interested in participating in the school culture/functions beyond your paid instructional hours (i.e. astronomy nights, nature study, etc.)?

Do you have children that would be attending Kalos Classical?

Would you be willing to read 2-3 books over the summer in preparation for the school year and to better understand our educational philosophy?

Is there anything else you want to tell us about yourself?

This is not your run-of-the-mill teaching job. We are looking for enthusiastic, humble educators who love God and the world He has made. These roles extend far beyond instruction, and are leadership roles within a community seeking to pursue the Good Life of the classical Christian tradition together. A formal teaching degree is optional, but a lifestyle of reading and learning is not. Applicants who have experience learning and/or teaching Latin will be given priority. We recognize that the educational philosophy we follow may be unfamiliar, even to those with experience in classical education, and so a willingness to learn will be highly valued. We follow a hands-on, wonder-based pedagogy that requires a lot of the teacher involved, but we are confident that this is a high cost, high reward method. If you are someone who wants to use your talents to further the kingdom of God through discipling the next generation in truth, goodness, and beauty, we invite you to apply! In the meantime, we would encourage anyone interested in this role to pick up Poetic Knowledge by James Taylor, The Liberal Arts Tradition by Kevin Clarke and Ravi Jain, Norms and Nobility by David Hicks, John Senior and the Restoration of Realism by Father Bethel, and Home Education by Charlotte Mason (in that order) to get a deeper vision of what we are all about.

“It is these teachers of the young who make the first deep and lasting impression on the souls of children—tuning their hearts and training their bodies, engaging them in a holistic and essentially ‘musical’ education, and educating them in wonder that teaches ‘passions more than skills and content.’ It turns out that the classical primary teachers are the exalted ‘wonder-workers’ of the school.”
