Purpose Statement for Thales Academy Faculty: To cultivate excellent people through the pursuit of truth, beauty, and goodness. Thales Academy is seeking driven teaching professionals who are committed to instilling classical, Judeo-Christian principles in the next generation. Thales Academy teachers champion classical learning by grounding teaching in Judeo-Christian principles, individual rights and freedom, and the importance of Western Civilization. Students today will be leaders tomorrow, and for that reason our teachers must lead by example through displaying a professional appearance, demonstrating a strong work ethic, and living a life of high moral integrity. Additionally, our teachers must be lifelong learners themselves who desire to improve upon their own knowledge and have a teachable mindset. We have received as our inheritance the literary and historical treasures of the Western canon which includes the best examples of transcendental qualities that promote human flourishing. Accordingly, in our classes we choose to focus on the very best books and ideas from this tradition. We encourage students to admire this intellectual inheritance and appreciate its literary works, heroic figures, and its ideas of human dignity.
