Part-Time Teaching · 2026–27

Teach at River Tech

Share what you love, one day a week.

River Tech has nearly doubled — about 130 students join us this fall. We’re inviting parents, relatives, and friends of the school to teach a subject they know and love, one day a week, 10:30 a.m.–2:30 p.m.

📅

One Day a Week

Pick a day that fits your life — Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, or Friday, four hours of teaching. That’s it.

💡

Teach Your Passion

Robotics, filmmaking, chemistry, debate, martial arts — teach the thing you’d talk about for free, in small classes of about 15.

🤝

Paid or Volunteer

Be paid as a contractor, or volunteer with a potential tuition discount for your family. You choose what fits.

⛪

Your Community

Teach the kids of the families you already know, in a Christian school where love is the script.

Compensation

Paid teachers earn $25–$35 per hour depending on qualifications, as independent contractors.

Prefer to volunteer? Volunteer teachers may qualify for a tuition discount for their own children — discussed personally with the principal.

Who Can Apply?

Adults 18 and older who meet both of these criteria:

A. Education or Expertise (one or more)

  • College degree (any discipline)
  • Relevant industry certification
  • Military service with leadership or technical specialization
  • Proven entrepreneurial or professional experience

B. Direct Work with Children or Youth (one or more)

  • Classroom teaching or homeschool co-op instruction
  • Church programs / Sunday school
  • Tutoring or mentoring
  • Camps, scouts, Civil Air Patrol, coaching, etc.

All part-time teachers must pass an Idaho background check. River Tech covers the fee.

Commitment & Reliability

By accepting a teaching role, you agree to be present every week during your assigned slot. If you must be absent, notify learn@rivertech.me at least 24 hours in advance.

How It Works

1

Apply below — about 20 minutes. Tell us what you can teach and when.

2

We review — every application is read carefully. If your subjects and availability fit our needs, we’ll reach out.

3

You teach — starting September, one day a week, with our full support.

Timing matters as much as talent. A subject we don’t offer this semester may be exactly what next year needs — strong applications stay on file for future semesters and school years.

1
About You

Who you are and how you’re connected to River Tech.

E.g. “Parent of Noah and Lily Smith” or “The Heart Church — friends with the Johnson family.”
2
Education

Check each level you hold and tell us about it. Skip any that don’t apply — experience and mastery count here too.

Trade school, military training, ministry training, online programs, self-taught mastery…
3
Relevant Experience

Teaching takes many forms. Check everything that applies.

A career story, a passion project, a skill, an adventure — the thing students would find fascinating about you.
4
What Can You Teach?

Check every subject you could teach with confidence. Don’t be shy — we’ll match subjects to needs together.

Something we didn’t list that you’d love to teach.
Of the subjects you checked, which could you teach in your sleep — and why?
5
Availability

Teaching days run 10:30 a.m.–2:30 p.m. Check every day you could teach — most part-time teachers pick one.

6
Compensation Preference

There’s no wrong answer — both paths bless the school equally.

7
Background Check & References

Every adult who teaches at River Tech completes an Idaho background check before working with students. River Tech covers the fee.

One or two people who know your character or your work — name, relationship, and phone or email.

Consent & Signature

Please read before signing below.

My word is good

Everything in this application is true and accurate to the best of my knowledge.

Understanding the role

I understand that applying doesn’t guarantee a teaching position, and that part-time teachers serve as volunteers or as paid independent contractors, not as employees.

My information

River Tech will use what I share here only for reviewing applications and staffing the school, will keep it confidential, and will gladly let me see or correct it at any time.

Applications are reviewed personally by the principal. You’ll receive a confirmation email right away.
