Are you a veteran teacher looking for smaller class sizes and fewer administrative headaches?Are you a new college graduate looking to start your teaching career in an incredibly supportive environment?Blessed Sacrament School is growing and we are looking to add the right teachers to our team. We are a high-performing PreK-8 Catholic school in the heart of Providence. We just celebrated our 100th anniversary and we have grown 42% in the last two years. We cap our elementary classrooms at 20 students (average size is 17), we have full-time TAs, and we offer paid professional development.
Could you see yourself as part of our growing, vibrant community?We are looking for lower elementary school teachers who have a growth mindset and high expectations for student learning. We want you to be strong on classroom management, preferably versed in standards-based grading, and a follower of Jesus and His teachings on love, compassion, forgiveness, and humility -- there's no "warrior Jesus" in this school! We offer our students a structured, peaceful learning environment so they can grow to their full potential.While the salary of a Catholic school teacher is not huge, you will have health, dental, and vision insurance, 10 days paid time off, snow days, small class sizes, and the most adorable group of kids you've ever met. Plus you'll have the opportunity to earn extra money through paid PD, tutoring, and extra-curricular activities.
