Middle School

Do you love Jesus, love middle school students, and believe learning should be an adventure?

Creative Learning Christian School is a small, non-profit Christian school in Mercer, Pennsylvania, dedicated to nurturing students academically, spiritually, socially, and emotionally through meaningful relationships and Christ-centered learning.

We are seeking a Middle School Teacher to lead our all inclusive middle school classroom. This unique position allows one teacher to walk alongside a small group of students throughout the school year, teaching core subjects while building meaningful relationships that extend far beyond academics.

This is not a traditional lecture-based teaching position.

Middle school is a season when students begin asking bigger questions about themselves, their faith, and the world around them. We are looking for an educator who sees this season as an opportunity to disciple, mentor, encourage, and challenge students while making learning engaging, relevant, and full of discovery.

Who We Are

At CLCS, we believe students thrive when they are known, valued, challenged, and encouraged. We seek to cultivate curiosity, creativity, leadership, responsibility, and a strong identity in Christ.

Our students learn through project-based experiences, outdoor exploration, meaningful discussions, hands-on activities, service opportunities, and opportunities to discover their God-given gifts and talents.

Our staff is warm, collaborative, innovative, and committed to serving families while glorifying God.

We Are Looking For Someone Who:

Loves Jesus and desires to model Christ daily

Has a passion for working with middle school students

Understands that middle school is as much about discipleship as it is academics

Believes learning should be engaging, hands-on, and meaningful

Encourages curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking

Values relationships over rigid systems

Thinks outside the box and enjoys creating unique learning experiences

Can integrate subjects together through projects and real-world connections

Enjoys mentoring students as they grow academically, emotionally, socially, and spiritually

Responsibilities

• Teach core middle school subjects through a Biblical worldview
• Create engaging, interdisciplinary learning experiences that connect multiple subject areas
• Facilitate project-based, experiential, discussion-rich, and hands-on learning
• Support students academically, socially, emotionally, and spiritually
• Build meaningful relationships with students and their families
• Foster a classroom culture rooted in kindness, responsibility, curiosity, and growth
• Encourage leadership, independence, and ownership of learning
• Help students discover and develop their God-given gifts and talents
• Collaborate with staff to support the mission and vision of CLCS
• Participate in school events, outdoor learning experiences, and community-building activities

Qualifications

• A growing relationship with Jesus Christ
• Passion for mentoring and teaching middle school students
• Strong communication and organizational skills
• Ability to teach multiple subject areas or a willingness to learn
• Education degree, teaching certification, or teaching experience preferred but not required for the right candidate
• Flexible, creative, collaborative mindset

Why CLCS?

At CLCS, we believe education is about more than academics. It is about helping students discover who God created them to be while equipping them with the confidence, character, and knowledge to impact the world around them.

If you are passionate about investing deeply in a small group of students, creating meaningful learning experiences, and helping young people discover both the joy of learning and the joy of following Christ, we would love to meet you.
