Our Teaching Staff

Our hiring process is designed to carefully select skilled teachers, ones who enjoy teenagers and who are passionate about their subject areas.  Many of our teachers, all Christians, hold a Master's degree or higher and are trained to encourage analytical, critical thinking as well as creativity. Teachers who  are members of the Ontario College of Teachers (www.oct.ca) are members in good standing.  A King’s teacher is to           possess the following qualities:

• THE ABILITY TO WORK WELL WITH TEENAGERS:  To enjoy who they are, to share in their interests, and to desire to empower them with profound understanding.

• A PASSION FOR LEARNING:  To be enthused about a specialty subject and demonstrate wide interests in ideas and activities.  A curiosity to probe beneath the superficial and asks deeper questions; a sense of wonder.

• ENTHUSIASM:  For the use of information technology and a wide range of teaching methods.
