About Donum Dei Classical Academy

Donum Dei Classical Academy founded in 2019 in San Francisco, equips students to become virtuous scholars and servant-leaders who are known, loved, and formed through a rigorous classical and Christ-centered education grounded in biblical truth. Rooted in the liberal arts tradition, we seek the peace and prosperity of our city by cultivating spiritually rooted and classically formed students who, alongside their families, serve and live redemptively for the glory of God.

Position Information

How This Role Fits into the Team

Each member of our team is essential to building a thriving culture that sees and calls out the image of God in our students and in one another. As we invite students to step into everything they are designed to be and do, our faculty and staff must also reflect and invest in our daily work of responding to God’s calling through an inner posture of discipline, diligence, and dedication. In the Logic School, the Bible Teacher helps students develop a deepening understanding of Scripture and Christian doctrine while learning to ask thoughtful questions and seek truth with wisdom and humility. This role supports students in forming a coherent biblical worldview, guiding them to integrate faith with reason as they grow in discernment, conviction, and faithful living.

• Weekly homework will include prescribed Bible reading along with reflective journaling to be guided by teacher.  
• The support/second teacher could review and grade student journals in class and return them by the end of class.
