Description
Position Overview
Sts. Peter and Paul School is hiring mission-aligned educators for the 2026–2027 academic year and beyond. We welcome applications across grade levels and disciplines from teachers who love their subject within the classical liberal arts tradition — drawing students toward what is true, good, and beautiful.
We’re looking for people who love teaching, long to build up Christ’s Church, and delight in serving children. Full-time positions are our priority; part-time may be considered for the right candidate.
The Role
Sts. Peter and Paul seeks mission-driven educators committed to growing in their Catholic faith and deepening their command of their academic subject. We hire teachers who approach their work in the conviction that faith and reason are two paths to the one Truth, who bring genuine mastery of their disciplines, who communicate clearly and warmly with students, colleagues, and parents, and who contribute to a faculty culture marked by both rigor and charity. Above all, they share the Church’s desire to form students intellectually, morally, and spiritually as one work.
