It has been over sixty years since the Bible and prayer have been taken out of public schools, and we are now seeing the societal repercussions. BRAVE Academy is spearheading the charge of bringing Classical Christian education back to Colorado and beyond. We believe the Bible is the complete Word of God, and the foundation of what our educational model is built upon. This is the way our founding fathers were educated, and we believe it is the ideal time-test model for raising moral generations. We teach children to love God, our country, and one another. In essence, we Challenge BRAVE Warriors for Courageous Kingdom Advancement.

The Latin Teacher will work closely with the Head of School to provide an excellent classical and Christian education founded upon a biblical worldview which equips students to live purposefully and intelligently in service to God and others. The Latin Teacher will teach students in the Logic and Rhetoric stages and should have a clear understanding of content appropriate for these stages.
