Literature Faculty

Ridgeview Classical Schools is seeking interested and qualified candidates for faculty positions in the Literature Department. Successful candidates will teach entirely in the upper school concentrating on courses in literature and composition (grammar, logic, and rhetoric). Preference will be given to candidates with a PhD or MA in related fields. Ridgeview neither requires nor prefers candidates with a teacher certification and would rather solicit applications from individuals who have demonstrated mastery in these fields.

Teaching experience is preferred but is not essential. Ideal candidates will be familiar with the fundamentals of classical education and defenders of the Western tradition. Interested individuals are asked to submit a complete application:

• Résumé or CV

• Completed Ridgeview application

• Letter of interest

• Copies of transcripts

• A one- to three-page written response to Russell Kirk's The Ethical Purpose of Literary Studies (the link to the reading can be found on the Careers page of our website).

Upon submitting a complete application, candidates may be contacted for an interview with the Headmaster. Successful candidates will then be asked to conduct a mock teach and interview with a hiring committee. After this, final hiring decisions are made.
