The ideal candidate will have a strong sense of the connections between fine arts, and the humanities, as well as a passion for inspiring wonder and excellence in students who study music. A candidate should possess extensive knowledge and training in Music, and demonstrate experience in choral directing and performance. Candidates must possess excellent organizational, written and verbal communication skills, and a track record of contributing to the vision and mission of an apostolic and educational enterprise.

Exceptional candidates who are transitioning from other careers, or recent college graduates will also be considered. A bachelor’s degree or higher, and teaching experience or training in classical/liberal arts schools is preferred.



The position is part-time, beginning July 1, 2023, with a competitive salary based on experience. Depending on the candidate’s experience, and the school's needs, full-time employment may be an option if a candidate can teach additional courses within the Chesterton curriculum, or take on additional responsibilities.
