Careers

At HOPE Christian Schools, eligible team members receive benefits on day one. HOPE Christian Schools offers a generous total rewards package, including participation in employer sponsored 403(b) retirement account and paid time off.  At HOPE we set the bar high, but we do it with a loving emphasis. We strive to develop a positive, high achievement-oriented, and structured learning environment so that all scholars are invested in their academic excellence and can fulfill their potential. Together, we instill in our team members that harmonious collaboration is vital for long-term career development across all our schools. We take pride in building our community through connections with scholars and their families.

High-quality professional development creates learning opportunities for teachers to share ideas and collaborate with one or another. Through a tailored approach, our leaders and teams explore training that relay new instructional strategies and classroom management techniques.

In order to inspire, support, and equip Serving Leaders, HOPE views education as a life-long endeavor. We strongly encourage all our team members to continue to grow professionally by advancing their education. In keeping with this philosophy, we have established a reimbursement program for expenses incurred through approved learning experiences.

Wisconsin Pathways to Licensure: Wisconsin offers multiple pathways to meet the requirements to become a Wisconsin licensed teacher or administrator. A Bachelor’s degree is the minimum degree requirement for most Wisconsin teaching licenses. A Master’s degree, Education Specialist degree (EdS), or Doctoral degree is required for most Pupil Services and Administrator licenses.

• Initial Teaching Licensure Pathway: This pathway requires the candidate to complete a bachelor's degree and an approved teacher preparation program at a Wisconsin college/university. Upon completion, the Wisconsin college/university will endorse you for a Wisconsin license.
• Post Baccalaureate Pathway: Having earned a Bachelor's degree, these candidates choose to return to a Wisconsin college/university approved to offer a teacher licensure program. Post-baccalaureate programs provide subject area and teaching coursework that lead to teacher licensure only or towards a master's degree program.
• Alternative Route Program Pathway: For subject-specific licensure, the candidate must have already completed a major in the subject area of the license they are seeking. Wisconsin Alternative Route programs prepare candidates with teaching coursework for Wisconsin licenses in shortage areas. These programs are for licensure only and do not lead to a degree.
• License Based on Equivalency Pathway: Candidates in this pathway have not completed a Wisconsin recognized and approved educator preparation program. Three years of teaching experience and a performance-based assessment process will be used to determine competency in the Wisconsin educator standards. These programs are for licensure only and do not lead to a degree.:
• Administrator Pathway: People who fit this pathway profile are teachers or pupil services professionals who wish to pursue a career as an administrator in a Wisconsin public school.  Candidates must complete the approved administrator preparation program specific to the license they are seeking at a Wisconsin college/university. Upon completion, the Wisconsin college/university will endorse the candidate for Wisconsin license.
• Apply for or Renew an Educator License: These applications are for educators who are applying for either a new Wisconsin teacher license or adding on a new subject to an existing Wisconsin teacher license, based on either a valid teacher license from outside Wisconsin and experience or completion of a preparation program out of state or a completed Educator Preparation Program for their first license or a new subject.
