PE Teacher
Through PE and physical exercise, this individual will teach virtues that reflect our Portrait of a Graduate, including how to build a disciplined body and character, preparing students for both rigorous study and a virtuous life. With the Bible as the foundation, PE builds on the expectation that a student needs to sit still, focus deeply, and engage in the rigorous reasoning required in their academic classes.

- Manager of a Safe, Ordered Environment by setting clear expectations for behavior and enforcing consistent, fair rules based on Biblical principles. The teacher will maintain physical facilities, closely supervise activities, and follow proper safety protocols to protect students from injury.
- Instructor of Physical Literacy and Virtue by teaching motor skills, coordination, and physical fitness in an age-appropriate, sequential manner, with a focus on soccer.
