ACANC seeks a part-time American History teacher for upper school (7th through 10th graders).
Ascent seeks teachers who, far from merely assisting students with the memorization of dates, names, and events with little relevance to modern life, make history come to life. At Ascent Classical Academy, students dive into a study of the human condition. They observe the great movements and accomplishments in history and learn from the successes and failures of past generations.
The classical approach to history emphasizes reading historical texts directly to understand the people of the past in their own words. These texts provide the backdrop for examining actions and the outcomes of decisions. Students ponder some of the questions mankind has been wrestling with since the beginning of time: What does it mean to live a good life? Is it right for a man to rule over another? Do human beings have natural rights? How one answers these questions affects not only the individual, but also families, communities, and nations.
History also presents students with exemplars of virtue through the men and women who chose goodness and truth over expedience or comfort. These tangible examples make Ascent Classical Academy’s Core Virtues relatable to our students and relevant to their daily lives.
