What is a classical teacher?

A Classical Teacher is an educator who instructs students using the classical education model, which emphasizes the study of literature, languages (often Latin and Greek), history, and the liberal arts. This approach is rooted in the traditions of Western education and seeks to cultivate critical thinking, eloquence, and moral virtue. Classical Teachers often guide students through the trivium (grammar, logic, rhetoric) and sometimes the quadrivium (arithmetic, geometry, music, astronomy), aiming to provide a well-rounded and rigorous academic foundation.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a classical teacher?

To thrive as a Classical Teacher, you need a solid grounding in classical languages (such as Latin and Greek), classical literature, and a relevant teaching credential or degree. Familiarity with classical education curricula, traditional assessment methods, and digital classroom tools is typically required. Strong communication, intellectual curiosity, and the ability to inspire a love for classical studies in students are standout soft skills. These abilities enable effective teaching, foster student engagement, and preserve the rigor and tradition of a classical education.

How does a classical teacher collaborate with colleagues to enhance the learning experience?

Classical Teachers often work closely with other faculty members, especially within humanities departments, to develop interdisciplinary projects and ensure curriculum consistency. Collaboration can include co-planning lessons, sharing resources, and participating in departmental meetings focused on classical languages, literature, or history. This teamwork not only enriches the student experience but also provides professional support and opportunities for educators to continue learning and refining their teaching methods.

Who We Are
Charter Schools USA (CSUSA) is one of the largest and highest performing education management organizations in the United States, serving more than 82,000 students across 150 schools in four states. Since 1997, we have pursued a Relentless Commitment to Scholar Greatness in school and in life. Through the CSUSA Classical model, we provide an academically rigorous, virtue-rich classical education that forms scholars in knowledge, sound moral character, and the habits of learning. We prepare scholars to seek truth, practice virtue, and lead lives of purpose. We believe in Strong Minds, Good Hearts.™
Job Purpose
As a Classical Grammar Faculty Scholar, you will form young scholars in the "grammar" of learning: the foundational knowledge, habits, and virtues that support lifelong wisdom and eloquence. In the CSUSA Classical model, we refer to our teachers as Faculty Scholars to reflect the high expectations for content expertise, exemplary practice, and lifelong learning. As a Grammar Faculty Scholar, you teach with clarity, order, beauty, and joyful rigor, using classical methods such as explicit instruction, imitation, recitation, narration, copywork, dictation, and carefully guided discussion. You model intellectual curiosity and upright character while you cultivate both academic mastery and moral imagination, so that each scholar develops a strong mind and a good heart and can flourish in the next stages of the Trivium and beyond.
