Website Cardinal Kung Academy Stamford, Connecticut
Middle & High School Drama Teacher
Cardinal Kung Academy is a classical, college preparatory junior high and high school founded in 2018 and serving grades six through twelve. The academically rigorous Catholic school is a diocesan high school located in Stamford, CT. The program emphasizes reading original texts, use of the Socratic method, an integrated curriculum and an appreciation of the arts.
All students at CKA enroll in several years of drama classes as part of the Fine Arts curriculum that complements our chronological, integrated study of the Western tradition. At the middle school level, students are introduced to techniques of memorization and acting with the goals of developing appreciation for classic works of drama, as well as performing monologues and a Spring production. The high school curriculum is divided into three courses: a 9th-grade introduction to the history of drama and dramatic techniques, a course in drama appreciation (for those in grades 10-12 who do not wish to be part of a stage production), and a production section. Past productions have included: Alice in Wonderland (Middle School), Death Comes for the Archbishop (Middle & High School), A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Harvey, and Arsenic and Old Lace.
The ideal candidate is an energetic, joyful and organized instructor responsible for planning, preparing, teaching, grading and sharing his/her love for the dramatic production. Candidates need at least a bachelor’s degree and experience teaching at the middle or high school level. Experience in performance or directing is desirable.
This role may be filled by one or several part-time instructors.
