Required Education:
Christchurch School is a co-ed Episcopal boarding and day school serving grades 9—12. Founded in 1921, Christchurch is located on a 125-acre waterfront campus on the Rappahannock River in eastern Virginia’s tidewater region. The school’s Mission is to inspire and guide each student's pursuit of personal excellence in academics and character so they are prepared for meaningful lives as engaged citizens and community leaders.
Position Overview. Christchurch School is looking to find energetic and experienced soccer coaches who also want to be a part of a broader educational setting. We know that many people come to education through coaching and have several openings in various academic disciplines for the right candidate. Our girl’s and boy’s soccer program have experienced tremendous success in recent years in Division 2 in the Virginia Association of Independent Schools. We are looking to add to that program with additional experienced soccer coaches. If you enjoy being a part of a community, coaching high school students, want to contribute to a competitive girl’s and/or boy’s soccer program, want to foster athletics as a way to develop life skills this could be a great fit for you. If you have teaching experience that is an added benefit but is not a pre-requisite for the position. A passion to learn and to work with high school age students in a boarding school setting is.
A typical load is teaching 4 sections of a course, coaching 2 seasons of soccer (men’s soccer in the fall, futsal in the winter, or women’s soccer in the spring), and contributing to the boarding school life by doing duty one night a week and weekend duty approximately 6 weekends a year. Currently we have openings in our math department, science department, Learning Skills Program, and computer science department. If you have a background in those academic areas and want to add coaching experience with teaching experience, please consider applying. This could be a particularly exciting opportunity for someone just out of college considering education as a career.
Being a part of a boarding school comes with other benefits beyond the coaching and community. Our school is located on the beautiful Rappahannock River along the Chesapeake Bay in Virginia. Our location provides recreational opportunities on the water and is within an hour drive of major cities and airports.
Studies have shown that women, people of color, and those just beginning in education are less likely to apply for jobs unless they believe they meet every one of the qualifications as described in a job description. We are most interested in finding the best candidate for the job, and that candidate may be one who comes from a less traditional background or who is excited about gaining the experience described in the listing. We believe deeply in a boarding school model of education and are interested in people who find the idea of teaching young people in all capacities of their lives compelling. We would encourage you to apply, even if you don’t believe you meet every one of our qualifications as described.
