Qualified candidates will hold at least a BA in Latin or Classics, with several years of teaching experience at the secondary school level preferred.

Responsibilities include the ability to teach all levels of Latin language and culture from introductory to advanced topics in a 4 x 4 intensive block schedule.  Instructors teach two eighty-minute blocks each day with an average class size of 15. While Culver is not a triple-threat boarding school, all faculty and staff commit to making a significant contribution to the athletic or residential life program of the school, as personal interest and institutional needs dictate.

Culver Academies places a premium on a teaching and learning culture in which faculty routinely talk about practice, observe each other in the practice of teaching, create curriculum together, and teach each other what they know about teaching and learning. Culver Academies uses a spoken Latin approach in a proficiency-oriented department, and a successful candidate would have an interest in collaborating with a colleague to emphasize a communicative and active approach to learning the Latin language and about Ancient Mediterranean cultures with inclusivity and equity. 

Professional development is available for all instructors and is born from goals set by individual teachers and goals established within the fine arts department.  Opportunities include traditional off-campus workshops and conferences, graduate work, research with students or colleagues, faculty-developed curriculum projects, and regularly scheduled on-campus forums for learning support, educational technology, disciplinary expertise, and culture.

Successful candidates will have a commitment to fostering belonging and inclusion in concert with our student-generated Diversity Statement.
