Become a part of the Viking family! St. Vincent de Paul Catholic School in Peoria, Illinois is seeking a second grade classroom teacher for the 2026-2027 school year to nurture, teach, and inspire our young learners in a Christ centered elementary setting.

The second grade teacher will play a vital role in helping students grow spiritually, academically, and socially during these foundational years. Through engaging instruction, loving guidance, and daily opportunities to live out our Catholic faith, the teacher will help students discover the joy of learning while developing their Catholic faith and live of virtue.

We offer many visible benefits of working in a Catholic school, including competitive compensation and a welcoming work environment. Even more meaningful are the daily joys : small class sizes, engaged and respectful students, strong partnerships with families, and the blessing of working in a close-knit Catholic community rooted in faith, love, and shared mission.
