Classical Lgc Faculty Scholar - MS Social Studies

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 scholars 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.™

As a Classical Logic Faculty Scholar, you guide scholars through the art of reasoning, helping them discern truth through structured thought, sound argumentation, and clear expression. 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 Logic Faculty Scholar, you cultivate intellectual habits that enable scholars to analyze ideas, identify fallacies, and construct valid arguments with precision and grace.

You teach with clarity, coherence, and ordered thinking, using classical methods such as Socratic dialogue, guided discussion, formal argument practice, and analytical exercises. Through these practices, you foster rigorous academic understanding and the Beacons of Virtue—prudence, fortitude, temperance, and justice—preparing scholars for eloquence and wisdom in every sphere of life.
