What are you searching for in your career?
You’ve decided you want to make an impact on the next generation of Christian leaders, or you started your career in another field, but you aren’t finding fulfillment there. You hope changing your field to Christian education will help you discover more meaning.
It could be that you’re already teaching locally and being asked to work with disrespectful students or disengaged parents while using a curriculum that goes against your faith. You want a healthier work environment.
Maybe you’re just getting started in your career, and you want to be at a school with experienced teachers and strong leaders who can mentor you and help you grow.
You might be exploring your options because you want your kids to go to a Christian school, and you’ve heard some schools offer tuition discounts for faculty and staff.
Perhaps you’re relocating. Orlando is a pretty big place, and there are lots of school options. You’ve got a lot of decisions to make, and where you’ll work is a major factor in your relocation plans.

That’s why we’re hiring for private school jobs
Christian families are turning to schools like The First Academy in record numbers:
So, if you’re considering working at a Christian school, how do you decide where to invest your time researching? We believe one of the best ways to understand what a school is about is to evaluate its mission statement — its “true north.” So, let’s start there.
Our Mission is Worth Pursuing
The First Academy is a Christ-centered, college preparatory school whose mission is to prepare children for life as Christian leaders who choose character before career, wisdom beyond scholarship, service before self, and participation as a way of life.
Christian leaders
TFA provides a college-prep academic program designed to grow and develop Christian leaders. And year after year, we have a 100% college acceptance rate.
Character before career
We teach for the heart, not just the mind. That’s why we immerse every subject, class, and activity in a Biblical worldview.
Wisdom beyond scholarship
Students work hard to gain knowledge, but we want them to understand how to apply that knowledge using Biblical discernment.
Service before self
Our desire is to cultivate an attitude and mindset that finds joy in serving others. To that end, our students learn by doing.
Participation as a way of life
TFA students and faculty aren’t passive observers. They step up and take ownership. They contribute here and in our community.
Why a private Christian school teaching job matters
At TFA it is such a blessing to have the freedom to be able to not only teach the subject areas that bring life to the students, we’re able to bring them up in a spiritual background. We’re able to pray for them.”

Our Teachers and Staff Have the Support They Need
As you can appreciate, the Gospel-Centered School Culture Framework pushes us to aspire to excellence in all we do. This commitment to excellence extends to how we support our team.
Your orientation process starts with pre-planning sessions to ensure you have everything you need. Then, once you’re launched, you’ll have access to mentors who can help you with everything from finding your way around campus to navigating classroom dynamics.
At TFA, we balance expectations and independence. We’ll be clear about what you need to accomplish, and you’ll have a lot of freedom to chart your own path to the intended outcomes. Next, we’ll make sure you have the tools, technology, and facilities you need to do your best work. We don’t want our teachers “making it work.” And we certainly don’t want you to pay for supplies out of your pocket.
Finally, as part of our commitment to your professional development, we offer training opportunities, peer collaboration, coaching, and more. As you strive to grow, TFA supports you in that growth.
You Can Have a Ministry and a Successful Career
You may be surprised to learn that TFA pays faculty and staff at or above the local competitive market rates. That means your salary and benefits will be comparable to or even exceed industry standards.
But finances are only one aspect of the career path:
While we want you to do your best for our students, we also help you pursue a work/life balance.
At TFA, you’ll serve alongside high-caliber, like-minded peers who truly care for each other.
You’ll also discover that TFA families appreciate you, too. Parents will volunteer in your classroom, stay on top of homework, and ensure their children are prepared to learn.
Finally, TFA is a great place to work because we have a clear vision for the future. Our long-term strategic plan was developed and will be implemented by stable, trustworthy leadership.
