Ambleside of the Willamette Valley teachers have an active, personal faith in Jesus Christ along with a desire to live out their faith in the classroom. They love books: classic stories, fairy tales, myths and legends, history, natural science, anything well written with good ideas. They love nature, art and music and many other subjects and want to introduce these things to their students. They are lifelong learners who love children.
Ambleside of the Willamette Valley teachers desire to have a discipling relationship with ten to sixteen boys and girls teaching them the habits of attention, respect, courtesy, honesty, thoroughness, accuracy, punctuality and many more. They are comfortable with a curriculum which uses few textbooks and requires teachers to master and teach their subjects without the usual educational aids and lesson guides. Recognizing that Ambleside of the Willamette Valley School exists for the purpose of implementing the method of Charlotte Mason, Ambleside of the Willamette Valley teachers willingly submit to Charlotte Mason's philosophy and become her students. They eagerly seek to increase their own knowledge by reading, discussing and attending educational internships so that they might become better teachers.
Ambleside teachers share a Living Education, Centered on Christ with our students and they seek to model this commitment: Everything with excellence, Always with humility, Centered on Christ. If you love learning and reading, and want to help children grow, we invite you to apply.
