Seasonal Coach (HS Boys Soccer)

Job Summary

At Founders Classical Academies we promote a two thousand year old liberal arts and sciences tradition. Our school is classical, but it is also, in a manner of speaking, cutting edge.

In fact, we promote the somewhat countercultural notion that students are made for, and should be educated for, much more than jobs and careers.

We view students for who and what they are, dignified human beings endowed with natural rights and gifts. With this in mind, we have a tremendous responsibility to help parents cultivate students and their gifts so they can live good and happy lives in a state of liberty.

This is the essence of a liberal arts education.
