The PQRTA gathers for a social luncheon
meeting approximately every second month with summers off. At times, there are
one or two items of “somewhat serious business” but, always, socializing with
other retired educators is the main focus of the meeting. Committee heads have
an opportunity to make a report, if they wish, but often the phrase “no report”
rings merrily from their lips.

We are now inviting applications to teach the following subjects part time: HS Math/Science.
Welkin has the qualities one expects from a small school. We are more of a community than an institution. Difference is welcome and character is foregrounded. Though small and newly established we aspire to great things. All of our students are International students preparing to live in a world where one's colleagues and competitors will represent various nationalities. The challenges our students will face require global cooperation which in turn requires seeing beyond the confines of one’s own learned expectations. The teacher in this setting will be an adventurous educator who balances a masterful approach with intuition and caring responsiveness. By creating outstanding conditions for learning, students will reap the benefits of a more personalized curriculum.
