Teaching Opportunities

Our instructors are experienced in their fields, with most holding degrees and/or certifications in the subject matter they teach in order to provide expertise within the classroom. We regularly evaluate our teachers to ensure they are providing quality educational instruction to our homeschool students.

Each of our teachers is considered an independent contractor hired to provide a specific service.

Teachers will enter a contractual relationship with Bridges for the duration of the school year specified within their contract. Teachers must agree to uphold our mission statement and statement of faith. Teachers must submit to and pass a federal background check. Teachers will be required to attend the mandatory orientation prior to the start of the school year (see calendar for date). Teachers will attend Toolbox training and utilize the Toolbox for their classes. Teachers must be present for each of their class periods, but are not required to stay for the entire day once their class/es are complete. 

Our courses are offered in-person one day a week, on Mondays, for thirty one weeks.  With the exception of sciences and some elective classes, the majority of our classes are 55 minute periods. Each of our classes has a determined curriculum and course expectation and a week's worth of content is taught per class. Teachers must be present five minutes before the start of their class and then may leave when their class is complete.

We do not offer any online classes at this time (with the exception of high school Spanish as part of the required course). We meet in person with our students one day a week, but occasionally struggling students may reach out for additional help and therefore a zoom opportunity may be beneficial. Bridges does not require this of their teachers routinely. 

Bridges utilizes a platform called the Toolbox and each student and teacher has an individual account. Teachers are required to learn how to use the main components of the Toolbox and will be trained in the Toolbox prior to the start of the school year. Communication with students will be via the Toolbox-not on private servers.

Bridges is currently seeking a writing teacher for the 7th-9th grade Intro to Writing  class and a literature teacher for the 9th-10th Literature class.  We may also need an Introduction to Spanish teacher and a Physical Science teacher next year but will confirm in the next few weeks. If you hold teaching certifications or a degree in science, or in English Language Arts, or a certification in Spanish (or just have extensive background of the language) please reach out to us via the contact form below, including your resume for review. We typically respond within a few days. Thank you!
