About Us
Welcome to the Immaculate Heart of Mary Hybrid Cooperative, where we offer a unique educational experience that blends faith and education. Our hybrid cooperative program is designed to support homeschooling families by providing a classroom experience for students two days a week. Our students attend formal classes in traditional brick-and-mortar style classrooms for part of the week, enabling them to interact with peers and learn from traditional teachers. They then work from home the remainder of the week to complete assignments and continue their learning.
While there are many hybrid programs available in Knoxville, we are the only Catholic option that firmly believes in the importance of blending faith and education. We have seen firsthand how this type of community fosters a rich foundation of faith in students as it is not merely a subject to be completed but an integral part of the day. At Immaculate Heart of Mary Hybrid Cooperative, our students not only receive an excellent education but also grow in their faith and become part of a supportive community.
Let’s work together
Join Our Teaching Team
We are seeking dedicated teachers for all grades – Pre-Kindergarten through 12th grade, as well as nursery/preschool staff.
Teachers will work on campus 2 days per week with a set daily rate. Responsibilities include delivering the curriculum for all core subjects in their assigned grade and co-teaching 2 elective classes per semester (electives will combine multiple grades).
Lesson plans are prepared by the administration and provided to teachers and families in advance, eliminating the need for teachers to create their own.
For teachers with young children, a nursery/preschool option will be available on campus.
Our hybrid program is designed to build a vibrant, traditional Catholic community that nurtures a strong foundation in our faith for students and their families. Catechism is a central pillar of the curriculum across all grades. While we encourage our staff to be practicing Catholics, it is not a requirement. However, all staff must uphold Catholic teachings while on campus.
Certification is not required to apply. This position is ideal for former or retired teachers, homeschool parents whose children attend the program, or others passionate about faith-based education.
“A good school provides a rounded education for the whole person. And a good Catholic school, over and above this, should help all its students to become saints.”
Pope Benedict 16th, Address to Teachers and Religious, 2010
