Formation-Centered Hiring

Our hiring prioritizes spiritual maturity and relational integrity alongside professional preparation.

We begin with a clear expectation: every teacher must affirm and embody our statement of faith, not as a formality but as a lived conviction. Interviews include discernment questions about how faith informs discipline, assessment, and daily rapport with students. Reference checks go beyond credentials to explore humility, resilience, and responsiveness to correction.

Candidates spend time in our classrooms observing how spiritual formation naturally integrates with academic rigor—like a math teacher weaving stewardship themes into statistics or a science instructor connecting creation care to lab work. This shared understanding ensures new hires enter with eyes open, ready to contribute to a culture where learning and discipleship are inseparable.

We look for those who reflect the diversity of our community—experienced educators, early-career professionals, and transitioners from non-traditional paths—unified by a passion for nurturing whole persons. Every hiring decision undergoes review by a cross-functional team including faculty, administrators, and board representatives to ensure alignment with both biblical standards and educational excellence.
