The positions listed below come from schools and individuals that have contacted UD Classics in search of a teacher.
1. St. Luke's Episcopal School in San Antonio will be hiring a Latin teacher/ NJCL Sponsor this year. The program has been a strong one for many years and it is continuing to grow. The headmaster and the community are particularly supportive of the Classics, and are also open to new ideas of how to integrate the subject into other disciplines. The students are wonderful learners, and the school has a plethora of resources. For more information please contact: jobopenings@sles-sa.org.
2. Geneva School of Boerne
is in need of a Latin teacher for the 2010-2011 school year. It is a position
teaching 3rd-5th graders (it's a Classical School that starts them off
young!). The the school utilizes Minimus and Minimus Secundus, First Latin,
and Cambridge Latin Course Unit 1 for these grade levels.
The school has a strong Latin program with very
supportive headmasters who believe in the fundamentals needed for students to
take Latin. They require Latin through 8th grade, then it
becomes an elective for 9th-11th graders. The administration views the 3rd-5th
grade years as critical in building a solid foundation, and more importantly
a LOVE and excitement for Latin. They desire a Latin teacher that can
deliver that passion and enthusiasm. There is no National Junior Classical League (NJCL), but
definitely opportunity to begin one here.
