They must address a variety of classroom issues and respond to a wide range of academic, emotional, spiritual, and behavioral needs.

Most secondary school teachers teach in a single subject area; however, the age and academic level of instruction will often be a combination of junior high and high school classes.

Secondary teachers must be well-versed in behavior management strategies with adolescents and able to employ techniques to redirect and positively reinforce Christian principles.  CCS teachers are required to problem-solve and collaborate to find solutions.
