The Covenant School seeks two qualified, collegial, and experienced science teachers to serve in the Rhetoric School (9th to 12th grade). Both teachers will specialize in life sciences
(Biology and Anatomy/Physiology) but should be able to teach other science courses as needed. Our science department seeks to give students a growing sense of wonder at the workings of
God’s creation, guiding them to be astute observers of natural phenomena and skilled practitioners of the scientific method. Moreover, all Covenant teachers serve as pastors (shepherds)
of our students, advising them in their walk with Jesus Christ.
Both positions are for full-time, ten-month employees (exempt). They will report to the Rhetoric School Director.
Qualifications
Bachelor of Science or higher in Biology or a related field (required).
Proven track record of excellent teaching (preferred).
