Job Summary
Upper School Innovation Teacher Delaware County Christian School Newtown Square PA Full-Time
The Opportunity
This isnt a typical teaching role and were not looking for a typical candidate.
Delaware County Christian Schools Center for Innovation runs the Incubator: a program where Upper School students operate real ventures and projects with real stakes. Student-run teams manage an apparel brand a coffee shop a screen printing operation a sports streaming service CS application development and engineering projects. These arent simulations. Students face authentic audiences manage actual revenue and make decisions with real consequences. The program generates meaningful income and the formative impact on students is significant.
Were looking for someone to teach coach and mentor these student teams as they pursue redemptive impact through innovation and entrepreneurship.
What Youll Do
Your primary work will be coming alongside student teams as a coach and mentor. Youll guide students through design thinking problem-solving and the messy realities of building something real. Youll help student executives lead their teams navigate setbacks and grow through the process. There will be instructional elements but your default posture is mentor not lecturer. You believe students learn best when the stakes are real and the ownership is theirs.
Youll work closely with the Director of the Center for Innovation and a small collaborative team that cares deeply about preparing students for a life of redemptive impact.
Who You Are
You feel called to Christian education and can affirm DCs Statement of Faith with conviction. You hold a Bachelors degree or higher and bring a background in business entrepreneurship or STEM. Youre energized by student initiative comfortable with some ambiguity and more interested in coaching than controlling. You thrive in collaborative professional learning teams and bring a growth mindset to your own development. Experience mentoring young entrepreneurs or leading project-based learning is a plus but the right disposition matters more than the perfect resume.
