Grade 6 Homeroom Teacher

Sixth Grade Homeroom Teacher

Start Date: August 15, 2026

Full-time, 10-month position

St. Benedict Classical Academy (Natick, MA) – a Catholic, classical, character-focused elementary school serving children in early learning through grade 8 – is seeking a qualified, experienced Sixth Grade Homeroom Teacher for the 2026-2027 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 inaugural seventh-grade class and moved to its permanent campus at 89 Union Street in December 2024. The 2025-2026 school year saw the first year of our eighth-grade program. While our Middle School has previously consisted of one section of students per grade level, the 2026-2027 school year will see the addition of a second sixth-grade section. This is an exciting time to join the expanding 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 middle school education.

The role of the Sixth Grade Homeroom Teacher is to support students in their growth in intellectual and personal virtue as they transition between elementary school and middle school. The homeroom teacher guides his/her homeroom class through their participation in the life of the school and serves as the liaison between the school and the parents of the students in his/her homeroom.

In addition, the Sixth Grade Homeroom Teacher will teach up to five middle school courses in the following subject areas: literature, history, Latin, religion, mathematics, science, and/or physical education.  The role of academic faculty at St. Benedict Classical Academy is to guide students in advancing towards mastery of the academic objectives taught at each grade level while modeling for and revealing to students how the Catholic faith and the pursuit of virtue are integrated into the formation of the intellect.

As homeroom teacher, the Sixth Grade Homeroom Teacher will:

• Work closely with colleagues, especially the homeroom teacher of the second Grade 6 section and the entire Middle School team, to ensure an integrated and cohesive formative experience for students.
• Design and maintain a classroom environment characterized by order, beauty, and faith.
• Create classroom structures and routines to support students in organizing their materials, time, and belongings.
• Maintain a schedule of assigned classroom and school responsibilities for students.
• Lead students in prayer at the beginning and end of each day, assisting them in getting organized for the day in the morning and recording assignments and packing in the afternoon.
• Send weekly class-wide emails (“the Monday Memo”) to parents communicating any information necessary for them to support their children’s academic progress and school engagement (e.g., homework updates, school/class events, etc).
• Serve as advisor for Middle School students in our Advisory program.
• Lead his/her homeroom in participating in homeroom-based, grade-level, and school-wide events (e.g., holiday parties, Houses of Faith, Catholic Schools Week, Field Day, etc.)

As an academic faculty member at St. Benedict Classical Academy, the Sixth-Grade Homeroom Teacher will:

• Create a joyful, welcoming, and orderly learning environment where clear behavioral expectations are instilled and virtue is upheld.
• Produce written lesson plans and update them weekly in the Faculty Lesson Plan folder.
• Implement the SBCA curriculum from a position of mastery of the disciplines taught.
• Design instructional experiences that reveal how the discipline taught enables us to know God more deeply and to serve Him more perfectly.
• Design instructional activities that are characterized by elements of classical pedagogy, particularly Socratic instruction and discussion, which is a hallmark of our middle-school program.
• Deliver instruction and administer rubric-based assessments that are aligned to curricular objectives and appropriate for the age level he/she teaches.
• Maintain an accurate and up-to-date performance and grade record for students.
• Communicate regularly with parents regarding student progress.
• Attend and participate in monthly All-Faculty and Middle School team  meetings.
• Participate in professional development opportunities, both those provided by the school and those pursued independently.
• Participate actively in the liturgical and prayer life of the school.
• Participate in school events and activities, both during the school day and outside of school hours (e.g., Parent-Teacher Conferences, Trunk or Treat, Open Houses and other admissions events, Gala).
• Assist in co-curricular activities (e.g., student clubs, advisory program, Benedictine Guild, Houses of Faith, summer enrichment, etc.) as needed and desired.
• Assist in drop-off and pick-up duties and other proctoring duties (lunch, recess, etc) as necessary.

The ideal candidate will have:

• A strong commitment to our school’s mission and the Catholic faith.
• Experience in and a deep love of working with K-8 children and their primary educators, their parents.
• Enthusiasm for and familiarity with Catholic classical/liberal arts pedagogy.
• 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.
