At Woodland Christian School we believe that God’s grace can change the world - one student at a time. We are committed to providing an excellent education, and we are also passionate about developing each student’s faith and character. We are seeking applicants who are professionally qualified, who love children, and who, by the pattern of their lives, are Christian role models (Luke 6:40). Since we are a religious non-profit organization, all staff, regardless of position, must profess acceptance of Jesus Christ as their personal savior and they must be an active member of a church which has a similar doctrine as our school organization. If you would like more information about what we believe and the requirements for our staff, please read over the employment application.
