What if we approached learning and teaching differently? What if school years didn’t feel like an exhausting sprint to the finish but rather a refreshing walk where the journey is as important as the destination?

At the CHI St. Joseph Children’s Health, we’re reimagining what education looks and feels like from the student, the family and the teacher’s perspective. Now is the time to consider joining our team and dream along with us. We’re looking for talented, creative, energetic and imaginative educators to travel with us on our journey of discovery and invention.

If you believe there’s more to education than standardized test scores;

if you believe that as educators we’re called to care for and nurture the minds, bodies and spirits of the students in our care;

if you believe education has the ability to unleash the inner power in all of us (especially children),

a role at the Mary Francis Bachmann School may be a perfect fit for you.
