5th Grade Teacher

Saint Rita School in Alexandria, Virginia, is a Catholic School in the Classical tradition. We seek thoughtful and joyful Catholic educators to join in our mission of fueling curiosity, forming character, and saving souls!  We are a small and close knit community (one class per grade) with a highly educated, motivated, and collaborative faculty.   Our one remaining classroom opening for 2024-2025 is in our 5th grade – a favorite age for many since they are capable of reason but not yet experiencing the challenges of adolescence! Our 5th graders study the Ancient World, and this position involves a mix of subjects including literature, history, writing, math, and religion. Candidates must be practicing Catholics and hold a Bachelor’s Degree; some classical experience is ideal.  Candidates must have a good rapport with children and strong classroom management, but a teaching license is not required (it can be earned on the job).  In addition to the online application, interested applicants must submit a resume and cover letter to Malia Busekrus at mbusekrus@saintrita-school.org and Bethany Hamm at bhamm@saintrita-school.org.
