Learning Tree Elementary School is seeking an enthusiastic NAD certified teacher, committed to the mission of Adventist Education, to join a fun and seasoned staff and to teach Forest School for Pre-K-K. Learning Tree provides quality Christian education for 4-year olds through 8th graders and is a 6-teacher school. Enrollment has grown exponentially over the last few years and is now topped out with around 85 students. This job opening is a result of our much-loved “child whisperer” Forest Lady for 18 years relocating to a school that is closer to her family. Learning Tree is located at the halfway point between Southern Adventist University in Collegedale, TN, (along with Collegedale Academy) and Georgia Cumberland Academy in Calhoun, GA. This location is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy mountains, national forests, and other recreational opportunities. Learning Tree has an attractive facility with decent-sized classrooms, a gym, plenty of technology resources, a library, a fenced playground, a field, a treehouse, access to a pristine creek, a beautiful forest space with several outdoor classroom spaces, and raised beds for food and flower gardens. It is connected to the Dalton Seventh-day Adventist Church. If you want to work for the best conference around, be involved in a very supportive and caring church, and thrive in a positive and happy work environment, then you definitely want to check out Learning Tree.   For more information visit our Facebook page and website at https://learningtreeschool.org.
