We are seeking a Middle School Educator for Toledo Junior Academy (TJA). This is a unique opportunity to join a school with a rich history dating back to 1922, now operating in a state-of-the-art facility nestled in a serene landscape.

Toledo is a hub of educational inspiration, offering students and faculty proximity to the Imagination Station science center, the Toledo Museum of Art, and the vast biodiversity of the Metroparks Toledo system. Our educators leverage these local gems to expand the classroom beyond four walls.

Position: Grades 6-8 Educator

Toledo Junior Academy is seeking a missionary at heart to serve as our Middle School Teacher. We believe that true education is the "harmonious development of the physical, the mental, and the spiritual powers."

Our constituent churches are deeply invested in the school, providing a robust support system through prayer, volunteerism, and financial partnership. We are looking for a "team player" who views their colleagues as partners in a high calling.
