We are semi-remote, with year-round highway access, reliable internet, and cell service. Major amenities, full health services, and regional hospital facilities are accessible in New Liskeard, Ontario (1 hr 45 min drive). Our school serves students from JK to Grade 11 and follows the Ontario curriculum in English; no French is required. Students also learn Algonquin language and culture and participate in land-based learning. We are looking for a Grade 7 teacher who sees the humor, energy, and potential in this age group. Grade 7 is a big year. Students are changing every day and figuring out who they want to be. You'll have the chance to shape a year that will set these students up for success and growth in high school and beyond. Working closely with our Grade 8 teacher, a standout educator who brings great energy to match yours, you will help build a distinct two-year intermediate program with its own identity. Small class sizes make room for strong relationships and individualized support. Specialist teachers deliver Algonquin, Core French, and Health and Physical Education, giving you 360 minutes of planning time every week, well above the standard. Learning here also doesn't have to stay in the classroom. With access to four school vans, field trips can be a regular part of the program. Closer to home, lessons can move outdoors to the forests, lakes, and rivers around the school. For a teacher who enjoys getting to know students well and helping them find their footing as learners, our small school offers real opportunity.
