Middle School Science Teacher (Full-Time)
Position Overview: Our Lady of Mount Carmel School and Lumen Gentium Academy seek a dynamic, mission-driven Middle School Science Teacher to join our faculty full-time. The ideal candidate will cultivate wonder in the natural world and equip students with the habits of inquiry, observation, and reasoning appropriate to a classical liberal arts education. This teacher will lead students to discover the intelligibility of creation and foster reverence for the order embedded in the physical universe.
Primary Responsibilities:
- Teach science courses for grades 6–8, including general science, life science, earth science, and introductory physical science or physics.
- Design and deliver lessons grounded in classical pedagogy and inquiry-based learning, with an emphasis on observation, experimentation, and scientific reasoning.
- Integrate science instruction with the broader classical and Catholic vision of reality, showing how truth in the natural world reflects the wisdom of the Creator.
- Foster classroom discussions that are thoughtful, orderly, and aimed at student formation rather than mere information.
- Create meaningful assessments aligned with a classical model — oral and written narration, laboratory work, short essays, and Socratic engagement.
- Collaborate with colleagues across disciplines to integrate science into a broader liberal arts framework.
Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree in science, science education, or a related field required; advanced degree preferred.
- A deep understanding of and commitment to Catholic teaching and classical education.
- Previous teaching experience preferred; openness to mentorship and ongoing formation essential.
- Ability to manage a middle school classroom with joy, order, and moral clarity.
Cultural Expectations:
- Embody the mission of the school by modeling virtue and intellectual curiosity.
- Participate actively in faculty formation and spiritual life of the school community.
- Encourage students to see their study of science as part of their vocation to know and love God.
