Trinity School is searching for a Lower School Teaching Assistant for a 3rd grade class to begin working in February 2023. Teacher assistants work closely with the classroom teacher to plan and deliver a Christian education.

• Help assess and evaluate each student’s progress daily and quarterly.
• Interact with children in ways appropriate to child growth and development.

• Be supportive of Trinity School on campus and in the community as well as being loyal and complimentary of administration, staff, and fellow colleagues.
• Arrange for a substitute assistant and all details when the assistant must be absent.
• Communicate all relevant concerns about students to the teacher.

Trinity School of Durham and Chapel Hill is seeking a Bible and Theology teacher for its Upper School.

Trinity School is highly focused on its Christian and classical mission. An understanding of and commitment to this mission is essential: to educate students in transitional kindergarten to grade twelve within the framework of Christian faith and conviction—teaching the classical tools of learning; providing a rich yet unhurried education; and communicating truth, goodness and beauty.

Located in Durham, North Carolina, Trinity School is a Christian School that values both a rich Christian faith (faculty embrace doctrinal commitments described on Trinity's website and have a personal relationship with Christ) and vibrant academic excellence. Trinity welcomes students and families who are Christian as well as those who come from other faiths and from none.

The person hired for this position will lead the school in the expansion and development of its Bible and Theology curriculum in the Upper School over the next several years. (Starting with the class of 2027, the school is doubling the graduation requirement for Bible and Theology.) In cooperation with other Bible and Theology faculty, this person will develop courses to fulfill the vision of the expanded Bible and Theology program in the Upper School. He or she will teach Bible and Theology even as the new courses are developed and piloted. Once the new program is fully launched, this person will teach eight semesters of Bible and Theology across grades nine through twelve.

The successful candidate will have a robust Christian faith that embraces Trinity’s vision to be an ecumenical school centered in and bounded by the evangelical and orthodox traditions. He or she will also have a passion and commitment for Kingdom diversity that aligns with Trinity’s vision for diversity, equity, and belonging within a Christian context. Candidates should read carefully the school’s Expanded Mission Statement, the Vision Statement on Kingdom Diversity, and other supporting documents that lay out both the positions and postures that shape an evangelical, orthodox, and ecumenical vision. In order to be successful in this position, a candidate will need a strong alignment with this vision of Christian faith and education. In Trinity’s school culture, camaraderie, collaboration, showing up for student events, and pitching in for the good of all are high values. Trinity values faculty who are involved in life beyond the classroom, and applicants who can coach, advise a club, or otherwise enrich our vibrant community will add much value.

Qualified candidates will have a master’s degree in theological education (e.g., M.Div or M.T.S.), experience teaching the Scriptures to adolescents, understanding of adolescent development (social, intellectual, emotional, sexual), and understanding of and some mastery of pedagogy. It is essential that this teacher be able to fuse theological education and spiritual formation in the classroom experience.

This teacher should have leadership skills and experience that would make it possible for him or her at some point to serve as the chair of the Bible and Theology Department, though this is not an immediate assignment (the first job to be done is to develop the Upper School Bible and Theology curriculum).

The Bible and Theology teacher will report directly to the Director of Upper School. He or she will work closely with the Head of School and the Bible and Theology Department in the development of the curriculum.

To be considered, qualified candidates should attach a cover letter, resume, and any other supporting documents, such as college transcripts and certifications, to their Trinity application. Please direct inquiries to Chip Denton, Head of School, at ptdenton@tsdch.org or Jez McIntosh, Associate Head of School, at jmcintosh@tsdch.org.
