Job description

CLP Teacher (K-8) Collaborative Learning Program (2027-2028)

Do you want to get rich and famous? Well, you probably should not become a teacher. Do you want to make a difference that will last longer than you will? You might want to consider Arma Dei Academy, where our aim is to provide the richest K–12 educational experience in American history.

CLP Teacher (K–8), Collaborative Learning Program

Two-Day & Four-Day Positions | Accepting applications year-round for the 2027–2028 school year

This is an evergreen posting. We accept applications on an ongoing basis, primarily for the 2027–2028 school year, and there may not be a current vacancy. We would rather know great teachers before we need them. When a classroom opens, we hire from candidates already in conversation with us.

Retirement plan; paid time off; advanced degree reimbursement; classical Christian education training and professional development. Four-day teachers are also eligible for health and dental insurance, life insurance, and short- and long-term disability. A two-day schedule leaves room for your own family, studies, or homeschool.

Schedule & Compensation

Two-Day (one cohort: Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday)

• 8:00 AM–3:15 PM on classroom days
• $20,200–$28,880 annually (half-time on the CLP scale)
• $40,400–$57,760 annually

Arma Dei publishes its salary scale. Placement is set by years of experience in classical Christian education and degree level.

About the Position

The CLP is a different kind of classroom. In the spirit of Deuteronomy 6, our teachers co-labor with parents: students learn with you on campus two days a week and continue that same learning at home with their parent-teachers the other three. You teach the class; you also equip the parents who carry your lessons home.

CLP families are classically minded Christian homeschoolers who chose this partnership on purpose. You will teach Bible, science, history, geography, composition, literature, math, Latin, and character formation to students in kindergarten through eighth grade, alongside our CLP Dean and a close-knit faculty.

Key Responsibilities

• Integrate biblical truth across every subject
• Teach with classical pedagogy: mimetic and Socratic teaching, poetry, chants, jingles, and song
• Give parent co-teachers a clear, sequential program of instruction for the home days
• Keep pacing, grading, behavior systems, and projects aligned with the CLP Dean
• Keep an ordered classroom and train students in character, manners, organization, and peacemaking
• Communicate regularly with parents, giving an accurate picture of each student's performance, ability, and character
• Work with the CLP Dean, Academic Support Specialist, and parents on struggling students, including home interventions
• Administer benchmark assessments as assigned (literacy in grades 1–2, math in grades 3–8, twice a year)
• Keep Canvas gradebooks and course pages current
• Share in supervision duties and events such as Parent Equipping, Recitation Night, and Parent-Teacher Conferences

Qualifications

Required

• Bachelor's degree or higher
• A spiritually vibrant Christian who affirms Arma Dei's Statement of Faith and integrates faith and work with humility
• Loves the subject matter, the students, and the toil of the day
• Enjoys equipping adults as well as teaching children; excellent written and oral communication
• Self-aware, hungry to learn, and open to growth in classical Christian pedagogy

Preferred

• Classical Christian education experience
• Homeschool or hybrid-school experience, as a teacher or parent
• Experience at your preferred grade level

Why Join Arma Dei Academy?

The CLP gives you a full classical Christian classroom without a five-day week, inside a school in its fifteenth year that serves nearly 650 students from 280 families and is accredited by the Association of Classical Christian Schools. CLP parents tell us the partnership has transformed their homes; our teachers are the reason. Our culture rests on three commitments: a High Bar for the work, a Big Hug for the people, and Open Hands with what God gives us.

Hiring Process

1. Apply online, tell us your preferred grade band and two-day or four-day availability, and complete the application questionnaire.
2. Our partners at PuzzleHR confirm faith alignment and review your application, then schedule a phone screen.
3. Qualified candidates are introduced to Arma Dei and may be invited to teach a sample lesson.
4. Finalists meet with the Head of School.

Professional references will be requested. Thoughtful questionnaire responses are an important part of how we assess readiness for the role and alignment with our mission.

Arma Dei Academy adheres to the Colorado Equal Pay for Equal Work Act. Arma Dei Academy does not discriminate in employment on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin, sex, age, or qualified disability. As a religious school, we require all employees to affirm our Statement of Faith.
