Summer Fun Teacher

For 2025 Summer Fun

Dear Potential Summer Fun Teacher:

Summer is coming, and with it the opportunity to provide an outstanding, memorable, FUN program for students who spend their days with their peers while parents are at work. Summer Fun begins with time in God’s Word, followed by many fun activities. Teachers plan games, lead crafts, provide time outside, and more, so students experience an adventure of Summer Fun!

The PCA Summer Fun program has been serving students for over 10 years, providing a memorable program for 30-60 students each summer. Many students look forward to the end of the school year, and in June begin asking, “When will Summer Fun begin?” We are looking for teachers who will join us to make this summer another memorable experience for our students.

Pacific Christian Academy has a rich history of providing Christian education in the Puget Sound region. Our Early Education through 12th grade program will educate over 300 students from many nationalities in an in-person classroom setting.

Our desire is to hire a qualified teacher who is a born-again Christian, whose life is committed to the truth of God’s Word, and who has passion for preparing students to be successful in their academic endeavors. We invite you to learn more about who we are at pacificchristianwa.com. You will find the employment application under the employment tab. Please submit your application, cover letter, and resume to info@pacificchristianwa.com. We anticipate God’s blessing on you and on Pacific Christian Academy as we seek His plan.

Serving Him,
