Benefits of Teaching at Clapham
Proven curriculum. We have purchased a curriculum that guides teachers through this unique model during the course of the school year.
Extensive training. We provide one week of formal training before school starts and bring in seasoned consultants to train the staff periodically throughout the year. In addition, teachers have at times traveled to other classical schools to learn and are encouraged to attend conferences or seminars annually to provide further educational growth.
Shorter school days. Our schedule at Clapham has six hours of instructional time per day, with full time teachers able to take planning breaks during classes such as Art, Music, Latin or P.E. when a specialty teacher is brought in.
Administrative support. Despite being a new school, Clapham has already committed the resources to help our teaching staff excel. This includes teaching aides, specialty teachers (Art, Music, Latin, and P.E.), as well as administrative support in the school office.
Great Benefits. We have a terrific program that ranks above most private schools: Blue Cross/Blue Shield health care program; matching retirement plan (matching 50% of a staff member's contribution up to 2.5% of salary); vision benefits; and more.
Our goal is to recruit and retain teachers that can contribute to the lives of our students for many years. Clapham is committed to maintaining policies and building supportive infrastructures to encourage teachers to make a career of teaching at Clapham.
