Physical Education Teacher (K-12) - Classical Charter School

As a school that works to train students in the way of virtue, athletics and physical education play an important role in that process. There are certain virtues that are difficult to practice in a classroom, and the field of competition and physical training is an arena for that practice. Students are pushed beyond limits, taught discipline, and are forced to practice strength and virtue when they are tired, losing, or pushed beyond the comfort of a typical classroom.

Students also learn to practice the habit of a healthy lifestyle, learn to use and move their bodies appropriately, and enhance their physical ability to complete difficult tasks. This development cannot be done without a strong emphasis on physical activities. To that end, students at Ascent Classical Academy will be exposed to physical education classes in the Grammar School and will be encouraged to take place in both physical education courses and athletic teams in the Upper School.

Qualified candidates will have a strong background in the subject matter, demonstrate high moral character and embrace the virtues of a democratic society. The successful candidate will also foster professional friendships with faculty and staff, seek collaborative relationships with parents, and mentor students in the pursuit of their own flourishing.
