School leaders know the importance of finding the right teachers and staff. Experienced leaders build networks designed to find and hire talent. Our team at Classical Commons draws upon decades of experience and national networks to locate and attract that talent for our member schools.
Classical Commons provides pre-screened candidates who are seeking to serve in a classical school. Leaders simply browse detailed profiles to find the candidates of interest—then make contact when ready to interview. Our team finds the talent, member schools decide which ones are the right fit.
To enter the Membership portal, registered schools purchase a 6-month membership to access the profiles of prospective talent—teachers and staff—for recruitment. Inside the Membership portal, designated school leaders can search and review talent profiles before selecting candidates to interview. Each candidate selected for an interview requires a Membership credit to contact the candidate. Two Membership levels include 5 and 10 credits, respectively.
Candidates complete the “Commons Application” (see here) providing personal information, training, academic credentials, experience, and candidate preferences: grade-level, subject area, willingness to relocate, etc. Upon receipt of the application, the team at Classical Commons reviews the resume, solicits written answers to philosophical and pedagogical prompts, and confirms the candidate’s interests and willingness to teach in a K-12 classical school.
Once applicants are identified as qualified Candidates, they will receive a series of three prompts exploring their philosophical and pedagogical ideas. Upon submission of those short essays, the profiles of Candidates will be distributed to all (up to 100) school leaders for review.
