Purpose Statement for ThalesAcademyFaculty: To cultivate excellent people through the pursuit of truth, beauty, and goodness. Thales Academy is seeking driven teaching professionals who are committed to instilling classical, Judeo-Christian principles in the next generation. Thales Academy teachers champion classical learning by grounding teaching in Judeo-Christian principles, individual rights and freedom, and the importance of Western Civilization. Students today will be leaders tomorrow, and for that reason our teachers must lead by example through displaying a professional appearance, demonstrating a strong work ethic, and living a life of high moral integrity. Additionally, our teachers must be lifelong learners themselves who desire to improve upon their own knowledge and have a teachable mindset. If you desire to join us on our mission to develop classical thinkers, we invite you to apply today for an open position or to be considered for a future opening. Our Mission is rooted in the THALES FIRST PRINCIPLES that guide all of our decision making Natural Order We believe there is inherent order in the universe and the natural laws that govern it. We believe this order creates a sense of transcendent beauty and we encourage all students to recognize and value this order. Human Dignity We believe in the Judeo-Christian philosophical concepts of Imago Dei and natural law that preserves the dignity and uniqueness of every individual as a reflection of the divine imbued with inalienable rights. Moral Philosophy We believe in the objective nature of moral philosophy in the Judeo-Christian and Aristotelian tradition and that we must model and encourage the development of character and virtue in our students. The goal is for students to develop practical wisdom (or prudence) to temper their intellectual growth. We have received as our inheritance the literary and historical treasures of the Western canon which includes the best examples of the transcendental qualities that promote human flourishing. Accordingly, in our classes we choose to focus on the very best books and ideas from this tradition. We encourage students to admire this intellectual inheritance and appreciate its literary works, heroic figures, and its ideas of human dignity. Our teachers and staff members possess a variety of backgrounds. Thales Academy hires based on merit and talent, and we provide on-the-job training; no state teacher licenses or precise degrees are required. Knowledge and skills can be achieved in many ways, and passion, integrity, and hard work matter. If you believe you are qualified for an open position, do not feel limited by a unique path and/or a lack of formal credentials. We want to hear from you. Please apply today.
