How Excelsior Works With Teachers

Excelsior Classes is an educational services provider, not a traditional school. We do not employ teachers. Instead, our instructors are independent contractors who offer live online courses through Excelsior.

Our teachers tend to stay for years, so openings in core subjects are rare. We usually add new teachers in November and December for the following school year, but we accept applications year-round and keep them on file for unexpected openings. If you have a unique course idea, we would love to hear it.

We’re seeking individuals who embody the qualities outlined here.:

R

Have at least a bachelor’s degree in the subject matter (required by many states for state funding)

R

Have recent experience teaching in a classroom or online

R

Strong planning and communication skills

R

A willingness to contribute actively as part of the consortium

R

A Christian worldview that you bring into your subject

R

Experience teaching with a learning management system, ideally Canvas, including building course pages, posting assignments, and grading online

R

Comfort with Zoom, Google, and Microsoft products

R

Agree with Excelsior’s guiding principles
