Calgary Jewish Academy is a small, relationship-based school community where people know one another and work together with care and intention. Faculty and staff work closely with students and families, and have the opportunity to see the impact of their work over time.
CJA is more than a workplace; it is a kehilah, a close-knit community shaped by shared responsibility, care for one another, and a commitment to education grounded in Jewish values.
Working at CJA means being part of a collaborative team. Teachers and staff work across grades and roles, supporting students academically, socially, and emotionally. Professional respect, open communication, and shared purpose guide how we work together.
Many staff choose to be involved in school life beyond their primary roles, including experiential learning, clubs, coaching, and community events. These experiences help build strong relationships with students and a genuine sense of connection within the school.
As a school, we greatly value reflective practice and continuous learning. Faculty and staff are supported in their professional growth through ongoing learning opportunities that encourage curiosity, development, and thoughtful practice.
We offer competitive compensation and benefits aligned with independent schools in Calgary, and we recognize the commitment, care, and professionalism our team brings to the CJA community each day.
When available, current opportunities will be listed here or linked externally. We encourage interested candidates to also check LinkedIn and Indeed, or to reach out if they feel aligned with our mission and values.
Even when there isn’t a current posting, we value building relationships with educators and professionals who are drawn to Jewish values, community-centred education, and purposeful work.
