Academy Substitute Teacher (K-6)
Summary Calvary Chapel Christian Academy is seeking a dependable, flexible, and faith-aligned Academy Substitute Teacher to provide classroom coverage for students in Kindergarten through 6th grade as needed. This role is responsible for maintaining a structured, respectful, and productive classroom environment while supporting instructional continuity in the absence of the regular classroom teacher.
