Employment

Teachers at Seven Oaks Classical School are hired based upon their intellectual accomplishments, moral seriousness, and skill in the art of teaching. We seek teachers who know and love the disciplines they teach, who understand and love children, who are able communicators, and who are philosophically aligned with the mission of the school. All teachers must be prepared to satisfy one of the state's licensure pathways for charter school teachers. Standard teacher certification is not required. 

Seven Oaks Classical School, we seek to build a team of professional educators who will work together to improve the minds and form the character of the students. To this end, we are looking for teachers who combine a broad background in the liberal arts with substantial background knowledge in the subjects they teach, who are articulate in the communication of that knowledge, who are fine role models, and who understand the need to cultivate good habits. We are also looking for teachers who are excited to join a community. Our school has stable leadership and a stable faculty. What makes working at Seven Oaks so special is the spirit of collaboration that prevails across the faculty. We help one another. We observe one another. We swap ideas. We make it work.

New teachers will join a faculty that aspires to be a community of learners who prize an active intellectual life that extends beyond the material they teach. They will enjoy the ancillary benefits of the area in and around Bloomington, a 200-year-old university town. The land round about the school is full of hills and lakes and national parks and forests. At the same time, the presence of Indiana University means that you have all the cultural and academic opportunities of a large city without the traffic or expense. Bloomington also offers close proximity to other major cities. It is 1 hour from Indianapolis, 2 hours from Louisville, 3 hours from Cincinnati and Lexington, and 4 hours from Chicago.
