Middle School Humanities Teacher

Middle Humanities Teacher

Cardinal Kung Academy is a classical, college preparatory school registering seventh through twelfth grade students. The academically rigorous Catholic school is part of the Bridgeport diocese and is located in Stamford, CT, a short train ride from NYC. The program emphasizes reading original texts, use of the Socratic method, an integrated humanities curriculum, and an appreciation of the arts.

There are up to two full-time positions available, primarily teaching Literature and/or Theology. Candidates may be selected as teachers either in one subject area or in multiple areas at one level (i.e., middle school or high school).

The ideal candidate is an energetic, joyful and organized instructor responsible for planning, preparing, teaching, grading and sharing his/her love for the Great Books and the Church. He or she recognizes and appreciates the unique developmental state of middle school students and is willing to adjust teaching methods to take advantage of it. (For reference, one might consult Dorothy Sayers' "Lost Tools of Learning.") Candidates need at least a bachelor's degree and experience teaching, Literature, History, or Theology at the middle or high school level. Faculty and staff sign an oath of fidelity to the Magisterium and statement of faith (Nicene Creed).

Our school is entering its sixth year and we expect significant growth in the coming years, so applicants will have advancement opportunities.
