7/8th Grade Teacher

Short school days, no school Fridays, small class ratios, traditional values

We are Mighty Oaks Academy AZ, a private missional Christian school in Prescott Valley started by parents for families seeking alternative education that aligns with their values. We are not a ministry of any church or affiliated with any denomination, but we abide by Biblical principles in all of our educational endeavors. This coming school year will be our third year in existence, and we are seeking to add additional qualified teachers to our team.

JOB GOALS: To partner with our teaching team in leading and educating our students in alignment with our school's values:

Our Mission

To teach students to know and pursue God; to know and embrace their God-given identities; to grow their own characters and minds; all that they may demonstrate Christ's love to a broken world in such a time as this.

Isaiah 61:3 " and provide for those who grieve in Zion—to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor."

Our Vision

In pursuing our mission, Mighty Oaks will minister to our community through providing quality biblical education. As we keep God at the center, our team will bear fruit from the inside out by serving first, leading second, pursuing excellence, demonstrating unity, and supporting the formation of strong families.
