Experience working with students with special needs is an added bonus as we’ve recently added this program so that we can be the hands and feet of Jesus to all students. •If you’re a parent, after the SUFS scholarship (open to all Florida students), you will pay no tuition to have your child attend Summit. We’ve been working hard to provide an excellent education (with data to support that statement) and instill faith in our students. About Us At Summit, we are committed to hiring outstanding educators who are passionate about two things: their relationship with Jesus and providing students with an excellent academic experience that reaches all learners. We work hard to grow in our craft, and we strive to model authentic Christian faith daily. Christian education is both our ministry and our vocation, and we believe an excellent education will help produce world-changers who impact every aspect of life for Jesus. We are also educators who are striving to “do school” differently. We are lifelong learners, committed to professional growth and development, and we want to do what is best for students based on current academic research. We also want to have balanced lives, working hard during school hours, and being fully present for our families and friends during non-working hours. We want to honor our students’ families and the important role that parents must play in their child’s education. We recognize that our students are whole people with full lives that extend outside of the school day, and we strive to help our students and their families achieve balance as well. We do all these things for the glory of God and out of true love for our Savior. If this sounds like you, we would love to explore the possibility of adding you to our team! You can find the application here. Every application we receive will be given careful consideration. If you seem like a good fit for SCS, we will proceed with an interview.
