FYI: Salvete sodales!

I'm recruiting for an opening posted at Loveland Classical Schools in CO for next year.

We're a department of four teachers in a K-12 classical charter school and are interviewing for a full time teacher for Middle School Latin.

A teaching license is not necessary; enthusiasm for Latin and the ability to make it contagious is. We do not use a textbook and our curriculum is built around novellas and teaching Latin as a living language. Applicants do not need speaking experience but must be open to learning.

The principal and admin at LCS couldn't be more supportive of SALVI events. The position includes attendance at Biduum CO in October and PD funding for summer immersion events.

I'd appreciate it if you'd pass the word along to any folks who might be interested.

Curate ut recte valeatis!
