Teach where you're known by name, too.

Spring Mountain is a close-knit, Christ-centered school with small classes and a four-day teaching week. If you love kids, love your subject, and want your faith to be part of your work — we'd love to meet you.

Why teach here

A place that's good for teachers, too.

The same things that make SMCA good for students make it good for the people who serve here.

A four-day week

Focused, full teaching days Monday–Thursday — and a real day back each week to plan, rest, and have a life.

Small classes

Teach students you actually know. Small rooms mean real relationships and fewer discipline battles.

Faith at the center

Pray with your students, teach from a Christian worldview, and let your faith shape your work — openly.

A real community

A supportive staff and families who show up. Here you're a person with a name, not a number on a roster.

Who thrives here

What we look for.

We hire for heart first, then craft. Degrees and credentials matter — but so does the kind of adult you are in front of a child.

  • A growing faith in Christ — and a willingness to live it out in front of students.
  • A genuine love for kids — patient, warm, and hard to rattle.
  • Strength in your subject — and the heart to keep learning.
  • A team player — small schools run on people who pitch in.

The best way to understand SMCA is to walk the halls, meet a teacher, and watch a small class at work. Book a tour — we'd love to meet your family.
