Looking for a high quality, experienced, bilingual educator interested in developing dual immersion program to begin at Lake Elmo Elementary School in the fall of 2017.

Agamim Classical Academy is a K-8, public charter school. We opened in the fall of 2015 with grades K-4 and will have grades through 5 in the 2016-2017 school year. We will add a grade each year until we are a full, K-8 school. We are hiring a Kindergarten teacher for the 2016-2017 school year. We train all of our teachers to teach the classical subjects of grammar, logic, and rhetoric. Classical teachers learn to teach students to think critically and wisely through exposure to challenging literature and primary source material, Socratic-style questioning, and memorization techniques. All of our students will study and uphold our five core virtues of Fortitude, Gratitude, Joyfulness, Temperance, and Wisdom which prepare children for a life enriched with Truth, Beauty and Goodness. We are a public school that prizes the American values of Liberty and E pluribus unum, and we see developing wise, informed, articulate adult citizens active in civic life as a high purpose of classical education.
