Job Description

Job Description:

Attention, passionate educators!

Regents School of Austin, a K-12 Christian private school, is seeking enthusiastic Rhetoric School teachers (9th -12th) to join our vibrant community. We have currently filled all positions for the 2025-26 year but occasionally have openings during the school year. Applying now as part of our continuous recruitment cycle will allow you to be considered for future staffing needs, but you will likely not have any next steps in the process until winter or spring 2026.

The School of Rhetoric is the capstone of the Regents education. Our students are developmentally ready to learn how to speak eloquently, with poise, good diction, and a winsome presence. But that isn't enough. Rhetoric is, "the art of effective or persuasive speaking or writing," and "language designed to have a persuasive or impressive effect on its audience". A good rhetorician can be a dangerous person using their rhetoric skills for selfish pursuits. An excellent education is incomplete without the proper moral framework. Our purpose is to train future leaders to use a Christian worldview and their technical skills to go out into the world and become culture changers. Regents equips students to lead others in the sciences, arts, business, politics, and humanities to what is true, good, and beautiful.

What does this look like at Regent? 

  • Harkness Tables

Much of our students' learning is around oval Harkness Tables in discussion (and sometimes argument!) with one another and teachers.

  • Humanities

Our students work and rework themes written on subjects in the Humanities until both the form and substance of their thoughts are eloquent and persuasive.

  • Math & Science

Even in math and science courses, students learn to express their understanding of difficult concepts with words as well as through successful calculation and experiment.

  • Senior Thesis

In what has become a meaningful rite of passage, each senior, in public, presents and defends a researched thesis before a panel of informed judges.

  • The "Great Conversation"

Our students examine the Western tradition of art, history, literature, theology and philosophy chronologically, recognizing the "Great Conversation" of the ages-and considering what it means to participate in it.

Do you desire to:

  • Inspire young hearts and minds?

  • Cultivate a love for learning through a classical, Christian lens?

  • Share your passion for truth, goodness, and beauty?

  • Partner with families to nurture well-rounded students?

Then Regents is the place for you!

Why choose Regents?

  • Faith-based environment: Integrate your faith with your passion for teaching.

  • Classical, Christian curriculum: Guide students to discover the wonders of creation and the richness of human knowledge.

  • Supportive community: Collaborate with dedicated colleagues and engaged parents.

  • Thriving city: Live and work in beautiful Austin, Texas, a hub of creativity, culture, and outdoor adventure.

While specific openings may vary, we encourage you to submit your application early!

Note: We typically determine more about our staffing needs around February. Stay tuned for updates on specific openings. You will usually see current needs based on more specific job titles, such as the grade level and or subject matter.
