Part Time ESOL Teacher

Position: K-5 ESOL Teacher

Status: Part Time

Location: Lawrenceville, GA

Gwinnett Global School is Hiring! We are a new independent school with a microschool model for students in PreK3 through 5th grade, with grades 6-8 to be added in the coming years. We have a vision for a new way of doing school that connects our students, their families and their neighborhoods to a growing garden of care, and we are looking for teachers who are committed to learning and growing with us. We are hiring a Part Time K-5 ESOL Teacher for the 2025-2026 school year.

Our Mission

Grounded in God's love for the world, Gwinnett Global School cultivates young learners from diverse backgrounds and prepares them to be resilient, globally-engaged multilingual communicators and problem-solvers, ready to lead lives of learning, service and significance.

What Makes Us Different

Gwinnett Global School provides a transformational opportunity for students from all backgrounds in Gwinnett County to experience a world-class, bilingual education, founded on God’s love and our core values of Curiosity, Courage and Care.

We believe a school is a garden that cultivates the flourishing of young people. We take each child - with all of the gifts, talents, dreams and potential they have - and nourish them with the range of care and support they need to thrive. As a community school with a micro model, our students learn in small (8-12 students) mixed-age and mixed-level classrooms. Through whole group, small group and individual instruction, our teachers guide students on individualized learning pathways, in a competency based model, allowing our students to move on to the next skill in each subject area when they are ready.

Just as we cultivate the flourishing of young people, we believe teachers should be valued, cultivated, developed and trained in a similar garden of care. You can only give to others from what you have received yourself. We want our teachers to be set up in such a way that they can continue to pour into their students because they are being supported in developing their skills as an educator and pursuing their dreams.

As a community school, we seek to bring together a team of teachers and community partners to impact our students, their families and our neighborhoods. Since our students come from many different backgrounds and speak many different languages, we celebrate the tremendous resource that richness of language and culture represents. By the time our students graduate from 8th grade, they will be fluent in English and another language, proficient at connecting and engaging across cultures, and prepared to communicate, make connections and solve problems, in service of their community.

A Faith Based School for All Students

Our Mission Statement begins with the phrase, “grounded in God’s love for the world,” and it is God’s love that inspires our mission in this community. We come from a foundational Christian faith that calls us to love and serve our neighbors, and fight to see the next generation rise and thrive as leaders in our community. As a result, GGS is a school for and open to everyone, regardless of their faith background. We believe the school should represent the full range of students and families in Gwinnett county. In addition to our core academics, we will teach students an ethic of love, respect for all, and putting others and their needs before oneself, guided by our core values of Curiosity, Courage and Care. We are looking for teachers who share that mission and faith foundation and are inspired to serve the full range of students and families in Gwinnett county. Our core curriculum is not faith-based but our reason for being in this community is.
