You can also find similar information on many of the other
denominational websites. Especially those that have a large
number of schools. Some of the national associations of
Christian schools have information also.

The amount varies widely across the US and depends on the
setting (urban, suburban, and rural). In addition, it depends
on the demand for public school teachers. In some areas there
is a surplus of public school teachers. Therefore, the private
and parochial schools pay less because of the avialabitily of
good teachers.

One caution. Schools that are struggling with budget or
enrollment challenges often pay less than the typical. A low
offer may suggest that you want to ask some more questions
before accepting the job. That is not to suggest that you
should turn down the job. It does suggest that you want to go
into the job with your eyes wide open.

Sometimes a struggling environment can be a source of stress.
Sometimes a struggling environment can be a source of great
fulfillment. This is especially true if you are part of the
process of turning it around.

I hope you find teaching in a faith enviornment a joyful
experience.
