Faculty: Accounting, Finance & Business PrinciplEs (Part Time)

Saint John’s High School is seeking an Accounting and Finance teacher (or experience with Business Principles, Business Math, and/or Applied Economics). This position is currently part-time with an opportunity for long-term growth based on the candidate's experience and other areas of expertise.  We value diversity and are looking for candidates who are not only knowledgeable in their field but also compassionate, dedicated, and eager to collaborate with students, faculty, and staff alike.

The Accounting and Finance class at Saint John’s is designed to give students an introduction to these fields as academic disciplines at the collegiate level, as well as give the students a practical understanding of personal and business finance.  To that end, the first half of the year focuses on corporate finance and accounting, while the second half of the year focuses on personal finance and accounting.  The Finance and Accounting teacher will also work with guest speakers from the academic and business world to help the students understand the real-world application of the Finance and Accounting curriculum.  In addition to normal classroom teaching expectations, this educator should be willing to collaborate with the mathematics department and administration regarding curriculum and assessment, best practices with regard to high school teaching, and be willing to engage students about moral and ethical questions that arise in the course of the curriculum. With robust interpersonal skills, the selected candidate will have a desire to contribute to the school community by sharing their passions and through engaging in extra-curricular and co-curricular activities. In addition to enthusiasm, integrity, and intellectual curiosity, we seek a teacher committed to an inclusive school community. 

The teacher will be responsible for the ongoing development and implementation of curricula, designing assessments that measure student progress and achievement, and using assessment data to inform instructional practices. In addition, the teacher will be expected to actively collaborate with external guest speakers (as mentioned above) and incorporate them into the curriculum during the course of the year.

Interested candidates should submit the following materials confidentially as separate PDF attachments in one email. 

Materials should be sent to the attention of Chris Cowan, Interim Principal of Saint John’s High School, via electronic submission to our school registrar at employment@stjohnshigh.org Resumes will be reviewed and contact will be made with those in whom there is interest. Candidates will be considered immediately and the position will remain open until filled.
