What are the responsibilities and job description for the Mathematics Teacher position at Saint Ignatius High School?
About The Position
Saint Ignatius High School, a highly successful Jesuit college preparatory school for boys in Cleveland, Ohio, is seeking an exceptional full time mathematics teacher beginning in the 2026-2027 school year. This full-time position will include planning for and teaching mathematics and leadership of one student advisory.
The preferred candidate will have experience teaching high school mathematics and a willingness to participate in the extracurricular and faith formation life of the school. The candidate should expect to engage in ongoing professional development opportunities. Access to an annual professional development allowance and numerous personal and professional growth opportunities are offered.
As a Catholic School in the Jesuit tradition, Saint Ignatius has been educating "Men for Others" for 140 years. Because of its dedication to cura personalis (care for the whole person), the school is known locally, as well as nationally, as a leader in educational excellence and Catholic faith formation. At graduation, students will be open to growth, intellectually competent, religious, loving, and committed to peace and justice.
Praise, reverence, and service should mark the relationship that exists not only between teachers and students, but among all members of the school community. Ideally, Jesuit schools should be places where people are believed in, honored and cared for; where the natural talents and creative abilities of persons are recognized and celebrated; where individual contributions and accomplishments are appreciated; where everyone is treated fairly and justly; where sacrifice on behalf of the economically poor, the socially deprived, and the educationally disadvantaged is commonplace; where each of us finds the challenge, encouragement, and support we need to reach his or her individual potential for excellence; where we help one another and work together with enthusiasm and generosity, attempting to model concretely in word in action the ideals we uphold for our students and ourselves.
