Job Description

About the School

St. Luke's Academy for the Arts and Sciences is a new Classical Christian high school in Monroe, Washington, committed to the Trivium and the Great Books tradition. Our inaugural student body of 10–14 students allows for deeply personal instruction, Socratic dialogue, and meaningful mentorship. We are building something from the ground up in coordination and cooperation with the students’ entire family — and seeking founding faculty who see teaching as a calling, not merely a career.

Our Foundation & Daily Worship

St. Luke's Academy draws upon the entire history of Western civilization and Christendom. Foundationally Catholic, we celebrate and honor the rich contributions of all Christian churches—Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox alike—recognizing the shared heritage of faith that has shaped our culture and learning.

Students will participate in weekly Morning Mass. Following worship, students return to the school campus to continue their daily instruction.

Position Description

We are seeking a passionate and faithful Latin Teacher to join our founding two-person faculty. This teacher will be responsible for instruction in Latin and its foundation to our English language across grades 9–12.

This is a rare opportunity for a teacher who wants to help build a classical Christian school — not simply step into an existing program.

Schedule: 7:45 AM – 3:45 PM, one prep period daily, 10-month academic contract

Compensation: $45,000–$64,000 (prorated for part-time employment) annually, commensurate with experience. Professional development funding included.
