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:

• CHRISTIAN FAITH:  To exude trust in God and to radiate love and joy.

• 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.

• A PASSION FOR TEACHING:  To connect the interest in students with the interest in learning; a desire to learn to teach, to consider teaching a craft that requires constant refinement.

• CREATIVITY:  Flexibility, the ability to think outside the box; the ability to be creative in lesson delivery, evaluation strategies and problem solving.

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

• PRESENCE:  The ability to command respect and manage a class well.   The ability to be firm but fair when necessary

• DISCERNMENT:  The ability to “read” people’s feelings, attitudes, learning styles, and abilities; to know when to push and demand and when to back off in matters of learning and discipline; the ability to find the “teachable moment.”
