Overview
Who We Are
At Grace Lutheran School, we are more than a school—we are a Christ-centered community committed to shaping hearts and minds. Our mission is to nurture each child’s God-given potential through excellent academics, authentic relationships, and a foundation of faith. We are seeking a 6th Grade Self-Contained Teacher who shares this passion and is ready to invest deeply in students, families, and fellow staff.
Who You Are
You’re a collaborative educator who believes students rise when the bar is set high and when they are surrounded by people who believe in them. You’re a team player, always willing to jump in, share ideas, and grow alongside others. You are mission-minded and see teaching as a calling—not just a job. You value academic rigor, embrace innovation in instruction, and have the heart of a servant-leader.
What You’ll Do
Serve as the core teacher for a 6th-grade self-contained classroom, teaching all core subjects: Reading, Writing, Math, Science, and Social Studies. Create and maintain a classroom culture that reflects our mission: one of academic excellence, joyful learning, and Christ-like character. Collaborate with middle school teammates to ensure a consistent and cohesive academic experience for all students. Differentiate instruction and use data to guide decisions that meet the diverse needs of learners.
Maintain strong, positive communication with families, rooted in partnership and transparency. Participate in school-wide initiatives, spiritual development, and professional growth opportunities.
We’re Looking for Someone Who:
Holds a valid teaching license (or is eligible for one).
Has experience (or strong aptitude) teaching in a self-contained or middle school setting.
Is highly organized, proactive, and passionate about middle school learners.
Is excited to be part of a supportive, mission-driven team that values collaboration and continuous improvement.
Has a deep and growing personal faith and is eager to be part of a school that integrates faith and learning every day.
Why You’ll Love It Here
You’ll work alongside dedicated educators and a strong leadership team.
You’ll teach in a place where faith and learning go hand in hand.
You’ll experience the joy of seeing students grow academically, socially, and spiritually.
You’ll be part of something bigger than yourself.
