Ithaca SDA School has an opening for a teacher/principal.  The school is currently at full capacity as a one-teacher school and looking to expand to a two-teacher school in the future. Ithaca is a quaint town situated 45 miles north of Lansing, 25 miles southeast of Great Lakes Adventist Academy, and only 90 minutes from beautiful Camp AuSable in Grayling. The school is in a rural setting on the same property with the church and community service center, providing many opportunities for service. It has two large classrooms and the nearby gymnasium is attached to the church as well as a greenhouse and expansive playground.  Ithaca School is on the 4-Day Student Week schedule allowing a full day for teacher preparation and planning on the fifth work day.

The K-8 multi-grade teacher is organized, establishes and maintains classroom guidelines in accordance with school policies, holds students to high standards of academics, character, and Christ-like behavior while being flexible and nurturing to each student's individual circumstances and needs. This teacher has a passion for inspiring young minds and leading students in their walk with Christ.
