• Encourage critical thinking, analysis, and respectful dialogue around historical events
• Maintain a structured classroom that supports focus, respect, and engagement
• Assess student progress through assignments, projects, and evaluations
• Communicate regularly with parents regarding student progress and needs
• Participate in school events, meetings, and professional development opportunities
• Collaborate with colleagues to support a unified, Christ-centered school culture

• Strong content knowledge in history and social studies
• Ability to engage students through discussion, storytelling, and critical thinking
• Strong classroom management and relationship-building skills
• A passion for investing in students academically and spiritually
• Flexibility and creativity in teaching methods

Why You’ll Love Working Here

• You get to live out your calling daily, not just do a job
• A Christ-centered environment where faith is integrated into everything we do
• A team that believes deeply in our mission: We Build People
• Meaningful relationships with students, families, and fellow educators
• The opportunity to make a lasting, eternal impact

Compensation & Benefits

We offer a competitive compensation package, along with outstanding benefits that support our employees and their families:

• 100% CCS tuition discount for employees’ children
• 100% employee daycare and extended care tuition discount
• Excellent medical, dental, and vision coverage
• 403(b) retirement plan with matching contributions
• Supplemental coverage options
• Opportunities for professional growth and development in a Christ-centered environment

Join Our Mission

We are a mission-driven, faith-based organization committed to taking all the Gospel to all the world and to every generation.

Through education, we get to live that out every day—developing students who are grounded in faith, strong in character, and prepared to make an impact.
