Trinity Charter Schools - Big Sandy Campus provides education to at-risk youth at a residential treatment facility. Our school philosophy focuses on building genuine relationships, meeting our students where they are at (emotionally & academically), and celebrating the growth observed over time. We listen to them, we encourage them, and we mentor them to promote trust and self-confidence. When they are engaged and sure of themselves, they learn.

Our unique campus dynamics allow for our teachers to be liberated from some of the roles and responsibilities demanded from teachers in traditional settings:

• No before/after school duties
• Positive parent involvement experiences
• Class sizes range from 5 - 20 students
• Trained Behavioral Support Staff in classrooms to assist with classroom management

We support and empower our teachers to thrive in a unique environment which allows them to focus primarily on building relationships and TEACHING. I strongly encourage you to apply if you are looking for an opportunity to use education to make a positive impact in a young person's life.

We hire dedicated, energetic team players to join our campus family. Texas-certified teachers with opportunities for stipends ($1800 for SpEd cert and $1300 for ESL cert), extra duty pay, retention bonuses, and pay for years of experience/education.
