CAREERS AT PETRA
Thank you for your interest in being a part of the Petra Academy faculty and staff! We seek employees who love God, who love children, and who are both enthusiastic and diligent about the excellence they bring to their workplace. Petra’s faculty and staff are chosen for their passion to teach in a classical and Christian school and to inspire joy in rigorous learning.

All Petra employees are expected to participate in church regularly.
