Apply for Studio Art

St. Jerome Institute (SJI), is a co-ed, classical liberal arts high school in the Catholic tradition. We have a campus in Washington, DC and will be opening a campus in Fall Church, SJI NOVA, in August 2026. SJI has reinvented traditional education to meet the challenges of our time. Our curriculum opens the most fundamental questions of the human heart at the very moment when young men and women are longing to understand themselves and their place in the world. Shoulder to shoulder with great thinkers, writers, artists, and saints, and led by the light of the Catholic intellectual tradition, we embark on a grand journey of academic excellence and joyful self-discovery.

Studio Art

“Yet, LORD, you are our father;

we are the clay and you our potter:

we are all the work of your hand.”

Isaiah 64:7

The St. Jerome Institute NOVA is seeking a teacher of Studio Art for the 2026-2027 school year. SJI NOVA seeks in its founding year to bring into being in a new location what we have already proven possible: that joy and order can thrive together in harmony, that faith and reason are meant to work together, and that humility and the pursuit of excellence are the calling of all young people.

The Studio Art teacher will help students begin to understand the unique gift given to man: that he may participate in co-creation. By sitting at the potter’s wheel, learning the basics of drawing and the elements of art, and imitating the masters, students will receive an education in craftsmanship while being formed in authentic beauty. The successful candidate will be able to serve in this part-time role (the class meets twice weekly and can be paired, for the right candidate, with a third meeting on Art History) and will have well-trained hand in one or more traditional media, as well as the eye, and mind, to recognize and delight in that which is truly Beautiful.
