Job Description

Chesterton Academy of Blessed Michael McGivney invites applications for both full and part-time teacher positions at our classical high school, grounded in the Catholic tradition.

Both positions have the capacity for growth as the school adds more grades each year.

Prior teaching experience, especially in a classical or Great Books style setting, is preferred, but we will also welcome applicants who are enthusiastic to participate in the Chesterton model.
