Substitute Teachers

Classroom Aide (Part-Time)

An SCS Classroom Aide works closely with the classroom teacher to assist them and other SCS staff in fulfilling the purpose of the school, which is to equip students to follow Christ and impact the world for Him. SCS staff live out a compelling relationship with Jesus Christ, which is central to daily instruction and interactions with students, parents, and team members. SCS aides provide instructional, supervisory, and organizational support to students and classroom teachers. Aides are occasionally called upon to assist in other areas of the school as needed.

Believing that the key to a successful Christian school is its staff, we seek professionally qualified applicants who, like Christ, genuinely love children and who, by the pattern of their lives, are Christian role models (Luke 6:40). We look forward to receiving your application.

An SCS Classroom Aide should:

• Demonstrate a personal and growing relationship with Jesus Christ
• Have a passion for connecting students with Christ and His mission
• Be emotionally and spiritually healthy
• Lead students to achieve excellent outcomes
• Hold a bachelor's degree from an accredited post-secondary institution (preferred, or a minimum of an associate degree) in education or a related field
• Demonstrate excellent written and verbal communication skills
