POSITION INFORMATION:
We are seeking a Middle School History Teacher. This position includes six sections of history for grades 5-8. (This has three courses to prep as some levels have the same content.)

What is needed is a candidate who loves history and who enjoys working with this age group. Development of classroom management skills, strong routines, organization, enthusiasm, and a warm/strict approach are essential.
ABOUT OUR SCHOOL:
Agamim Classical Academy is a K-8 public charter school that offers a classical, liberal arts education for free.

Our educational approach is balanced to enrich the heart with virtue and expand the mind with rigorous and inspiring classical content. Our aim as a public charter school is to grow our scholars into intelligent, caring, and engaged citizens.
Agamim’s staff are the heart and soul of the academy, and, like our families, they also have chosen Agamim’s mission and vision for themselves. Our staff have worked hard to create a welcoming and supportive place to develop our public school careers. They are a key part of creating our close-knit community. Class sizes average 25 or fewer per homeroom, and the student teacher ratio is 15:1 or lower.
Classical education is inspirational and life-changing for our students, staff, and families. It requires a dynamic, curious, engaging, organized, and happy teacher who loves to learn and works hard to see all students meet and exceed their potential.
