The ideal applicant will have strong communication skills, good organization, timeliness, a traditional view of the student/teacher relationship, and must be living the Catholic faith day-to-day, including having received all the sacraments appropriate to his or her state in life.

Hours are Mondays and Thursdays 9:30am-4:15pm. Lesson plans and curriculum are provided. Teachers must be willing to prepare for classes at home and come to class prepared to teach in a highly structured environment.
