Benefits of Working at St. John's
St. John’s is home to 70 faculty and staff who care deeply about caring for and nurturing children to help them one day fulfill their potential as human beings. Ask any one of our wonderful faculty and staff why they love working at St. John’s and the answer will always be an emphatic, “the students!” That’s because St. John’s students are talented, respectful, and curious children of character. Regardless of the role they play, each St. John’s employee sees him or herself as doing their part to prepare the children for lives of learning and service. We do this in a joyful and spiritual environment.
At St. John’s, our students are our single greatest asset and our employees our most valuable and important resource. The greatest benefit to teaching at St. John’s is to have the resources, professional development opportunities, planning time and support to truly empower students to lead and inspire them to serve. We take great pride in hiring, supporting, and retaining dynamic professionals who are invested in doing everything possible to help each child succeed. While the criteria for employment begins with subject mastery and qualifications, we are equally interested in the ‘intangibles.’ At St. John’s, we call them ‘the eight ‘Cs,’ key characteristics we want to see in anyone we consider hiring:
- Child-centric
- Coachable
- Collaborative
- Committed
- Collegial
- Communicator
- Change agent
- Continuous improvement
Additions to the St. John’s professional community are more than simple ‘replacements.’ Through their expertise and dedication, they are invited and expected to find ways to make the school even better. To do this, St. John’s provides the following:
- A workplace distinguished by 70 years of demonstrated success in preparing children for lives of learning and service in our ever-changing society.
- A culture of professionalism, great expectations and unparalleled support.
- Competitive salaries based on years of experience and education.
