General Guidelines for Teaching at Plumstead Christian School

Given the school’s mission of Christian education, it is imperative that each teacher at the school be committed to the Lordship of Christ in his/her life.
We seek teachers who evidence scholarship in their personal education and who have a comprehensive understanding of their subject matter.
We believe that teachers should possess enthusiasm for their subjects and a passion to teach.  We do not treat education as merely the acquisition of information; rather, we seek teachers who demonstrate the importance of subject matter by conveying it in ways that will have personal and practical application for students.
We believe students are eager to learn.  We seek teachers who encourage the students to actively participate in the learning process.
We seek teachers who understand that it is the integration of knowledge that makes learning relevant for students.  There are unifying, fundamental (biblical) principles that exist within and among academic subjects.  These need to be amplified for students both to demonstrate their interrelatedness and coherence and also to manifest the reality that all truth is God’s truth.
We seek teachers who desire to serve Christ through a love and genuine concern for students.  Such teachers embrace a commitment to serve in their role as a spiritual mentor to students and are willing to spend the extra time individually with students, that help the student to experience and to desire to fulfill Christ’s command to “love one another.”
Teachers shall annually read and agree to support and operate under the policies and procedures described in both the PCS Faculty Handbook and PCS Family Handbook.
