Employment

If you are interested in information on current job opportunities, please submit a resume and cover letter to jjohnston@bradfordacademy.org.

We are receiving resumes for the 2025/2026 school year for the following:

  • 4th grade classroom teacher
  • lower elementary classroom teacher
  • upper school math teacher

 

The faculty and staff at Bradford Academy is composed of a team of professional educators dedicated to the principles of Classical and Christian education. Each is a member in good standing in an evangelical church and is committed to living and modeling the kind of lifestyle we desire for our students.  Our teachers are committed to continuing professional development, a key factor in the success of the team.

Staff Qualifications

1. While a state-endorsed teaching license is the industry standard in the public school system, it unfortunately does not guarantee teacher quality. In some cases it even works against the stated goals of classical and Christian education. Therefore, Bradford Academy does not require a teacher to hold a N.C. State teaching license.

2. Each teacher has demonstrated:

  • faith in Jesus Christ, and adherence with a good conscience to the Bradford Academy Statement of Faith and the Bradford Academy Philosophy of Education
  • a proven competency in his or her content area and a love for the subject matter;
  • an ability to articulate clearly and creatively the concepts of his or her subject matter;
  • an understanding and willingness to grow in the pedagogy of classical and Christian education: and
  • joyful success in ministering to children and wise understanding of the needs of children at different levels of academic and social development.

3. All regular full time instructors hold a bachelor’s degree or higher. Several of our teachers specialize in elementary education; however, most studied in content related majors. We will occasionally hire part-time adjunct instructors whose talents and gifts make them ideal instructors or coaches regardless of formal credentials.

4. Criminal background checks are done on all staff as well as personal and professional reference checks including spiritual knowledge and maturity usually provided by a pastor.
