About The Position

The Stonehaven School exists to glorify God by cultivating truth, goodness, and beauty in students through a distinctly Christ-centered classical education. The school is unique in its class offerings, thoroughly classical in its approach to learning, and intentionally focused on the cultivation of virtue in students, striving to be the premier classical Christian K-12 school in the Metro Atlanta area with a reputation for Christian virtue and academic excellence. The foundational commitments include education founded upon biblical truth, adherence to traditional exemplary forms and standards in education, cultivating wise and virtuous students conformed to the image of Christ, teaching and learning with excellence, recognizing that hearts and minds are shaped by practices and habits, assisting parents in their God-given task, and encouraging active parental participation. The Stonehaven School is a non-profit 501(c)(3), non-denominational, classical Christian school, accredited through both SAIS and ACCS. We are hiring a part-time Middle School Boys Basketball Assistant Coach to begin work in the 2026-2027 school year. The goal of our coaches is to further instill Christian virtue into the moral fiber of our athletes, focusing on developing athletes who can 'be someone' rather than just 'do something'. Athletics provides a unique opportunity to develop discipline, perseverance, and responsibility. This focus naturally leads to a passionate desire to win and succeed, while coaches nurture excellent performance in harmony with good sportsmanship, humility, and grace. All student-athletes and coaches are expected to model Christ-like behavior in victory and defeat, with the development of godly character pointing to the ultimate goal of doing it all in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and giving thanks to the Father through Him (Colossians 3:17).
