Thank you.

Hi Karen, Thanks for asking about the position(s) at GCA. There are currently a couple of positionsRead More that need filled. The higher, more difficult positions to fill would include Latin 2, AP European History, and the Omnibus - a conglomerate of classes characteristic of classical education. Because we are a Christian school, each of our teachers is required to articulate the Christian gospel through all of their subject areas and to do so from a Scripturally literate point of view. As far as the salary is concerned, that becomes an issue between the candidate and the board and is not handled directly by myself. Please let me know of any more specific questions that you may have if you are still interested. Also, please visit us on Facebook as well as at our main website at gcali.com. Thanks again.

I'm qualified. I would need more details about the position, to consider applying for it.
