As a rule, we always accept applications for Grammar School Teachers, particularly Upper-Grammar School, and Secondary Humanities Teachers. We are always seeking teachers with classical Christian backgrounds who desire to be part of our community of learners.

Locust Grove Mock Trial Coach: We are seeking a mock trial coach for the 2024-2025 school year. This coach will work with our “C” team and will help students to prepare for competition every Wednesday from 3:00 pm – 6:00 pm and Saturday mornings beginning in January through February. There will be a regional competition at the Ada County Courthouse on March 1st, which will be the end of the “C” team’s season. Coaches prepare the team by teaching them critical skills necessary for mock trial competition. These skills include teaching students to think critically about the case, the underlying issues, looking at an argument from both sides, studying the courtroom decorum, and learning the process of argument and making or opposing objections in a dynamic and “live” environment. The student attorneys learn to examine and cross examine student witnesses who have learned their specific roles; all participants learn to speak confidently in front of judges in a real courtroom. If there are questions about coaching or the season in general, please contact Nick Duncan at nduncan@theambroseschool.org. To apply, please complete our employment application and email it along with your resume and cover letter that details your faith story to personnel@theambroseschool.org.
