About Romero Academies

Romero Academies is a Catholic school network located in Cincinnati, Ohio operated by Seton Education Partners. Romero Academies invests in its facility, students, and staff both academically and financially via weekly coaching meetings, frequent professional development, and competitive compensation. Inspired by the words of St. Oscar Romero, our students will “aspire not to have more, but to be more,” and develop the virtue, knowledge, and academic skills necessary to thrive in a selective college preparatory high school, college, and beyond.

About This Position

Romero Academies' teachers partner with families to form future saints by developing the intellect, forming the character, and engaging the faith of each scholar. We are looking for a highly dedicated educator who brings an unwavering commitment to helping every scholar achieve their God-given potential. This position is for an English Language Arts and Social Studies teacher for fifth and sixth grade scholars (four separate preps) for the 2025 - 2026 school year.

• Teaching targeted lessons to small groups within the context of a rotational model of blended learning.
• Leading instruction using a rigorous curriculum that inspires intellectual curiosity, reinforces the joy of learning, and enables all students to thrive.
• Engaging in an ongoing data-driven cycle of assessment, analysis, and action.
• Implementing school-wide systems for academics, culture, and character development.
• Connecting with families through frequent phone calls, emails, conferences, and notes.
• Participating in two weeks of summer training before school’s opening.
• Engaging in ongoing professional development.

Qualifications And Desired Characteristics

• A loving respect for all people, in recognition of each person’s God-given dignity.
• A desire to participate in ongoing faith formation and Christian fellowship opportunities.
• A demonstrated commitment to service in urban and/or low-income settings.
• Unassailable integrity and commitment to the school’s mission and vision.
• A strong belief that all children can achieve both moral and academic excellence.
• An unwavering determination to be better today than you were yesterday.
• Proven ability to effectively support, collaborate, and partner with a variety of personalities and working styles.
• Grit, faith, hope, love, and a sense of humor.

Minimum Requirements

• At a minimum, a bachelor’s degree and a desire to help students grow in faith, virtue, and intellect is required. (A teaching license can be obtained after hire.)
• A passion for being part of a team-oriented, mission-driven school culture.
• Demonstrated success in raising the achievement levels of traditionally underserved students.
• Living as a faith-filled individual, who understands and honors the teachings of the Catholic Church and is passionate about sharing the Catholic faith.
• The ability to be flexible in a fast-paced school environment that is responsive to students’ needs.
