| Schedule | Sundays, 9:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. (staff arrival and departure window; student hours are 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.). |
Primary Function
The Teacher plans, organizes, and delivers instruction that fosters a positive learning environment and helps students grow academically and spiritually, in keeping with the Academy's curriculum and Islamic values.
Key Responsibilities (not limited to)
- Plan and deliver effective lessons that promote active learning and address the diverse needs of students.
- Manage the classroom environment, including discipline, organization, and appropriate use of materials and technology.

Compensation — Perfect Attendance Bonus
A $600.00 bonus is paid with the final paycheque of the school year to any teacher with a perfect attendance record for the entire year — no absence, no arriving more than 15 minutes after the expected start time, no leaving more than 15 minutes before the expected end time, and no excused absence.
- A day the school itself is closed (weather, holidays) is never counted against this record.
- An absence the office has accepted with documentation (e.g. bereavement, a doctor's note) does not break the record, though it is still recorded.
- The bonus is paid only once, with the last pay period of the year — never paid early and clawed back if a later absence occurs.
- A volunteer teacher is not paid this bonus, since it is a payroll bonus rather than a value placed on volunteered time.
