School Overview
South Side Christian Academy (SSCA) is a Christ-centered school with a mission to reach and transform children and families for Christ by establishing a solid biblical worldview, confirming value and hope in Christ, and preparing each young person through a high quality education for a life of service to God and others. Serving grades k-8, we are a completely tuition-free school on the South Side of Peoria, IL serving primarily under-privileged minority students who would not otherwise be able to afford a private education. We believe in sharing Jesus through education, not educating and sharing Jesus so if you want a to teach at a school where you can make a meaningful impact for Christ through education, is the school for you.

Notable Accomplishments / Recognition
At least 75% of our students consistently perform academically at or above grade level on grade level standard tests in an area where only about 1% of students in public schools achieve this. More importantly, some are answering the call to live for Jesus, even as all of them are hearing and growing in their knowledge of Christ. A majority of our students do not come from a Christian backgrounds so this school is a clear mission field for the Gospel.
Benefits
Free lunch for all teachers, competitive salary, life and disability insurance, retirement and Christmas bonuses annually.
