St. Benedict Classical Academy - a Catholic, classical, character-focused elementary school serving children in grades pre-K through 8 - is seeking a qualified, experienced Music Teacher for the 2025-2026 school year.

Founded in 2013 as a parent-led initiative to provide an authentically Catholic education for their children, SBCA originally served students in grades K-6. In 2018, the school opened its Montessori-inspired early learning program. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school launched its first seventh-grade class and moved to its new, permanent location. The 2025-2026 school year will see the launch of our first eighth-grade class. This is an exciting time to join the SBCA team!

This unique opportunity is calling those searching for a new professional home where they can unite their love for the Catholic faith with their passion for elementary education!

The Music Teacher will:

• Teach general music education, including elements of vocal music, choral music, music literacy, musical notation, music theory, and musicianship skills, to a combination of grades ranging from pre-K through Grade 8
• Oversee the development and implementation of the music curriculum and co-curricular music programs
• Communicate effectively with parents regarding the music curriculum and student progress
• Conduct students in leading liturgical music for our weekly Mass
• Coordinate our annual Advent concert (Festival of Carols) and spring Grandparents’ Day concert
• Participate in admissions events (e.g., Open Houses) as required.
• Attend faculty meetings, retreats, and professional development sessions as required.
• Assist in co-curricular activities (e.g., student clubs, House System, etc.) as needed and desired.

The ideal candidate will have:

• A strong commitment to our school’s mission and the Catholic faith.
• Enthusiasm for and familiarity with the Church’s tradition of sacred music and with the Western musical tradition.
• A deep and meaningful love of working with elementary- and middle-school children and their primary educators, their parents.
• Experience working with elementary- and middle-school children.
• A strong background in musical education and pedagogy.
• The ability to create a joyful, welcoming, and orderly classroom environment where clear behavioral expectations are instilled and virtue is upheld.
• The ability to model for students a life committed to Christian discipleship, virtue, and a love of learning.
• A positive outlook and a good sense of humor.
• A Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field by the time of employment.

Faculty at SBCA are required to sign a Statement of Faith. They are also required to submit to background screening as well as complete required safe environment and mandated reporter training.

Salary and benefits are competitive and commensurate with education and experience. Applicants seeking either full- or part-time employment are encouraged to apply.

SBCA attracts families from nearly forty towns in Greater Boston, all of whom partner fully with their children’s exceptional teachers in forming students to become the saints they are called to be. As we look forward and plan for our thirteenth year, we look back on more than a decade of sustained growth and vibrancy. Enrollment, faculty, staff, administration and even our physical footprint have all quadrupled in size over this period of time. Our tight-knit, friendly, and engaged faculty have moved to the area from across the nation to join us in building a school for the Lord’s service, which acts as a beacon of hope and joy in the Greater Boston education and Catholic communities.

Interested candidates should email a cover letter and curriculum vitae to the Headmaster, Mr. Jay Boren, at [e-mail].
