Saint Joseph School is seeking a classroom teacher who could be assigned to teach students from kindergarten through sixth grade.
The teacher promotes academic and social behaviors in children in a developmentally appropriate manner and continues to reinforce such behaviors on a consistent basis. The teacher also fosters independence through the gradual increase of responsibilities by allowing students to develop the skills to perform tasks without assistance.
Saint Joseph School educates in the spirit of the Gospel, inspiring Catholic values, academic excellence, global awareness and service to those in need. We are an equal-opportunity employer committed to excellence through diversity. The ideal candidate would be one who embraces the SJS mission and who is looking for a place in which to be respected and supported.
