Alpha Christian Children’s Home and School is accepting resumes and applications for a Learning Center Student Supervisor (a teaching position).  Our K-12 Learning Center currently educates up to 16 children being served by the children’s home.  The school utilizes Accelerated Christian Education’s individual-based curriculum which provides opportunities for each child to have an education plan tailored to their specific abilities and needs.  This allows them to experience success in school, sometimes for the first time.
