About The Position

It strives 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 intentionally founding every aspect of education upon biblical truth, adhering to traditional and long-established exemplary forms and standards in education, believing that true education culminates in wise and virtuous students being conformed to the image of Christ, dedicating to teaching and learning with excellence as unto the Lord, recognizing that hearts and minds are shaped by practices, habits, routines, and liturgies, and assisting parents in their God-given task of educating their children. The Stonehaven School is a non-profit 501(c)(3), non-denominational, classical Christian school, accredited through both the Southern Association of Independent Schools (SAIS) and the Association of Classical Christian Schools (ACCS). The goal of a classical educator is to instill a passion for learning that will never cease to burn, forming individuals who can be someone rather than just do something.

Hiring excellent and passionate teachers and staff members is one of the most important components to successfully educating students. The school is hiring a full-time Upper School Teacher – Humanities to begin work in the 2026-27 school year.
