Holy Child Catholic School is looking for a dynamic, part-time Art teacher to lead our students toward a deeper appreciation of the beauty in God’s world and a deeper love of Christ and his Church.  Our curriculum, the St. Jerome Educational Plan, focuses on the great books of the Western tradition, but we also take seriously the central role fine arts instruction has in awakening students to the beauty within creation. Drawing instruction and art history are a central part of our curriculum. Candidates should be passionate about the rich heritage of the Church and of Western civilization in general, as manifested through art.  Please send a cover letter and resume to school principal, Mrs. Janice Martinez a jmartinez@holychildnm.com. Please carefully review our website as well www.holychildnm.com. Applications will be accepted until positions are filled.

True education has always rested on two presuppositions. The first is that truth is desirable for its own sake. It is good not for what it does, but for what it is. The second is that knowledge consists not in bending the truth to ourselves, but in conforming ourselves to truth. We can only conform ourselves to truth by freely embracing and loving it, and we can only love truth if we are enticed by its beauty. Love of beauty has therefore always been integral to the discovery of truth and true education has always sought to form the heart and mind, reason and will, desire and knowledge. In short, education forms the whole person in light of truth, beauty, and goodness.
