Rock Solid Christian Academy is a Christ-centered, University-Model® school serving students in grades K–11 in Aurora, Colorado. Students attend classes on campus three days each week (Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday) and complete guided assignments at home on Wednesdays and Fridays under the partnership of their parents.
At Rock Solid Christian Academy, we believe education is about far more than academics. We exist to partner with parents in equipping students for a lifetime of learning and glorifying God through community, discipleship, and a Christ-centered education. Every student is uniquely created in the image of God, and we seek to cultivate both intellectual excellence and Christlike character in an environment where students are known, loved, and challenged.
We are seeking a 4th and 5th Grade Literacy and History Teacher who loves Jesus, enjoys working with upper elementary students, and is passionate about helping children become thoughtful readers, skilled communicators, and discerning learners.
