Christel House Academy regularly looks for outstanding licensed teaching candidates.
Christel House teachers are expected to use a “no excuses” approach to teaching all children, especially those who are most difficult to teach. Teachers are given flexibility to be innovative and creative in the classroom, but there are very high and clear expectations for success.
If this sounds interesting, then we would like to hear from you. We regularly entertain applications from professional looking to enter the teaching force through State approved Transition-to-Teaching programs. We also encourage unique and creative university students, who have distinguish themselves, to apply.
We occasionally hire mental health professionals and support staff.
Under qualified teachers, still working on licensure with the State, may qualify for non-licensed instructional employment.
As positions are available, we will post links on this page and with the IDOE PEER website.
Compensation
Unlike traditional public schools that pay teachers a little more each year to simply show up, Christel House teachers are rewarded for results.
Teachers are paid a competitive salary, but salary increases are based on results. Hard working and successful teachers get paid more. Mediocre teachers do not. It is a simple concept and one that rewards hard work and accomplishments... something that is missing in many local public schools.
In addition to a base salary, teachers frequently have opportunities to earn additional compensation by taking on additional responsibilities to coordinate subjects, coach sports, run after school clubs, tutor students, and take on teacher leadership roles.
At the end of each academic year, teachers also earn bonuses based on accomplishments and student performance. Exceptional teachers have the potential to earn thousands of extra dollars each year.
Pension
Christel House Academy participates in the Indiana Teachers' Retirement Fund-- the statewide pension plan for Indiana teachers.
In addition to the state guaranteed pension plan, Christel House Academy staff have access to an employer sponsored 403(b) plan with ING North America
TFG Financial Group, an ING Financial Partner, manages the ING 403(b) plan for Christel House. ING, Internationale Nederlanden Groep N.V., is a Dutch banking and insurance conglomerate based in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
