Basic Science Teacher at Standard Bearers School

Standard Bearers School (SBS) was designed to be a home away from home, where children receive valuable lessons of life and not just to be educated. SBS is also a faith-based school, meaning that it is a Christian school. We are not seeking to convert any child rather impact the values of a Christian lifestyle that will impart values like humility, gentleness, contentment, etc.

According to Mrs. Oni, we teach about faith not just by reading the bible but by using all the digital tools to guide and develop the minds of young children. We also emphasize the seven habits of highly effective leaders by Steve Covey through a program called the “leader in me”. We make morality a culture for them - a departure from worldly behavior. We believe that all children are created by God irrespective of their physical or mental challenges or impairments. In SBS, we believe where there’s a disability, there is ability.

We are recruiting to fill the position below:
