Upper Elementary English Teacher
One Christian Academy- Northvale, New Jersey
One Christian Academy is a small but growing Christian private school in Northvale, New Jersey. We are committed to providing a Christ-centered, individualized, and innovative learning environment where students are known, challenged, and supported.
As a young school, OCA is looking for faithful, caring, teachable, and flexible individuals who are excited to grow with us. Our average class size is 5–10 students, with usually fewer than 5 students per teacher during classroom instruction. This allows teachers to build meaningful relationships with students and support them closely in their academic, personal, and spiritual growth.
At OCA, we plan together, pray together, and build together. Teachers are not only instructors, but also mentors, builders, and role models who help shape the culture and learning experience of our students.
