Ministry Position Position Type:

Full-Time Teacher Reports To:

School Administration Our Mission and Heart Graceview Christian School is a small Christian school with a heart for serving families who desire a Christian education but may not have the financial means to attend a high-tuition private school. We believe that Christian education should be about more than buildings, programs, technology, or impressive extras. At its heart, Christian education is about people. We offer small class sizes, a family-oriented environment, and the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with students and their families. Our goal is to meet children where they are, recognize their individual needs, encourage their growth, and point them toward Christ through both instruction and example. We are not driven by enrollment growth, competition, or the pursuit of prestige. We are committed to faithfully serving the families God brings to our school. This position is more than a teaching job; it is a ministry. We are looking for a teacher who shares our heart for children, embraces the opportunity to serve, and understands that the everyday work of teaching, encouraging, correcting, and caring for students can have an eternal impact. Position Overview The Christian School Teacher is responsible for providing quality academic instruction within a Christ-centered learning environment. The teacher will create a classroom where students feel safe, valued, challenged, and supported while helping them develop academically, socially, and spiritually. The ideal candidate understands that children learn at different rates and come from different backgrounds. Rather than expecting every child to fit the same mold, this teacher is willing to meet students where they are, provide appropriate support, maintain reasonable expectations, and celebrate individual progress. Our school may not have every resource or program available at larger private schools. We value teachers who are flexible, resourceful, collaborative, and willing to focus on what matters most: faithfully teaching children and serving families. Primary Responsibilities 1. Christ-Centered Teaching and Modeling Demonstrate a personal commitment to Jesus Christ and a desire to serve Him through Christian education. Integrate biblical truth and a Christian worldview into classroom instruction and daily interactions. Model Christian character, patience, humility, kindness, forgiveness, and integrity. Help students understand that their value comes from being made in God's image. Support the school's Christian mission and doctrinal commitments. 2. Academic Instruction Teach assigned subjects using the school's adopted curriculum and instructional expectations. Prepare lessons that are organized, purposeful, and appropriate for students' developmental and academic levels. Assess student progress, maintain accurate grades and records, and communicate concerns in a timely manner. Identify students who need additional support or appropriate academic challenges. Maintain a classroom environment that encourages learning, responsibility, and perseverance. Complete lesson plans, report cards, and other required documentation in a timely manner. 3. Meeting Students Where They Are Recognize that students come with different abilities, learning styles, backgrounds, and levels of readiness. Demonstrate patience with students who struggle academically, socially, or behaviorally. Provide reasonable accommodations and instructional adjustments within the school's resources and applicable requirements. Celebrate progress, not just achievement, and encourage students to develop confidence and independence. Maintain appropriate academic and behavioral expectations while extending grace and support. 4. Classroom Management and Student Care Establish consistent routines, clear expectations, and a positive classroom culture. Correct students with fairness, dignity, and respect. Build meaningful relationships with students while maintaining appropriate professional boundaries. Promote a safe, orderly, welcoming, and engaging classroom. Work collaboratively with administration and families to address student needs and behavioral concerns. 5. Partnership With Families Recognize parents and guardians as important partners in a child's education. Communicate respectfully, professionally, and proactively with families. Approach family concerns with compassion, honesty, and a desire to find constructive solutions. Understand that some families may be navigating financial, personal, or educational challenges. Treat every family with dignity, regardless of background, circumstances, or ability to contribute beyond tuition. 6. Teamwork and School Community Work cooperatively with fellow teachers, staff, and school administration. Participate in staff meetings, school events, chapel, and other activities that support the school's mission. Be flexible and willing to assist with reasonable school needs outside the classroom when necessary. Use available materials and resources responsibly and creatively. Contribute to a supportive, family-like school culture where staff encourage one another and work together for the good of the students. Qualifications and Personal Characteristics The ideal candidate will demonstrate: A sincere Christian faith and a desire to serve through Christian education. Agreement with and willingness to support the school's statement of faith and Christian mission. Appropriate educational qualifications and experience for the assigned teaching position. Strong communication, organization, and classroom management skills. Patience, flexibility, humility, and a teachable spirit. A genuine love for children and a commitment to their academic and personal growth. The ability to work well with families and colleagues. A willingness to work within a small school's available resources and established procedures. A heart for service rather than a desire for prestige, recognition, or rapid institutional growth. What Makes Graceview Different? Graceview Christian School is not trying to be the biggest school or the school with the most impressive facilities. We are seeking to be faithful to the work God has placed before us. Our small size allows us to know our students personally, recognize their needs, build relationships with their families, and provide a more personal educational experience. We believe that children deserve to be taught with both truth and grace, and that families deserve to be treated with compassion and respect. We are looking for a teacher who sees the beauty in that mission. Someone who understands that a child who finally masters a difficult concept, a student who begins to believe in their own abilities, a family that feels welcomed and supported, or a child who begins to understand the love of Christ represents meaningful success. Our Expectations We do not expect perfection, and we recognize that teaching is demanding work. We do expect faithfulness, professionalism, a willingness to grow, and a genuine commitment to the children and families entrusted to our care. The teacher who thrives at Graceview will understand that ministry often happens in ordinary moments: patiently explaining a lesson one more time, encouraging a discouraged child, having a difficult but gracious conversation with a parent, or showing up each day ready to serve. At Graceview, success is not measured only by numbers, enrollment, or appearances. It is measured by faithfulness to our mission, growth in our students, relationships with our families, and the opportunity to reflect Christ in the work we do every day. Statement of Commitment By accepting this position, the teacher acknowledges that Graceview Christian School is a Christ-centered educational ministry. The teacher agrees to support the school's mission, uphold its professional and Christian standards, and approach the responsibilities of the position with a spirit of service, compassion, and faithfulness.
