5th Grade Science/Math Long Term Sub (Starting February)

Providence Academy is a Christian Independent school that was founded ten years ago with a mission “to provide uncompromising excellence in educating and equipping students with Truth.” The school serves over 250 students in Junior Kindergarten – 8th grade.

In the classroom, teachers are to encourage, motivate, and inspire students through an exceptional educational program infused with a Christian worldview. Students are challenged in all areas of their lives – academically, spiritually, physically, emotionally, and socially – as they develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

The school seeks a dynamic, caring, skilled, and intellectually engaging Science/Math and/or STEM educator to join its team. This individual will be covering for another teacher on maternity leave, with potential for a permanent position. The individual has a deep knowledge of the subject matter, integrating the essential concepts into an experiential and collaborative learning environment for students. Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to lead by influence are important to help Providence Academy increase its inquiry-based, student-centered, interdisciplinary learning environment. Willingness to participate in professional learning committees, advising, and coaching is desired.
