We respect teachers; our team is provided high-quality curriculum, supplies, and protected work time and space. Our benefits are designed for you to be your best self for our students, every day. We believe in working hard, and we believe in working smart . We prize ingenuity - do you get excited about 6 th graders building their own circuits? Do you know that 5 th graders can grow two reading levels in a year with the right approach? Can you already see the 7 th grade production of Othello ? Here, you can make it happen.

Founders are leaders. Make your voice heard as a founding team member, building a school from the ground up. Our staff begins each year with four weeks of professional development in the summer because we believe our students deserve an excellent staff, and we know that excellence is the result of practice, iteration, and never being satisfied with our last effort.
