Our founding motivation is the belief that addressing the scale of educational inequity will require a relentless focus on designing excellent schools that depend on uplifting talented, committed staff, not heroics. We are committed to being an excellent place to work; a school that values and treats students AND teachers as individuals. WE OFFER TEACHERS: Several career paths and flexible hybrid roles that allow you to hone your craft, reach your professional goals, and gain meaningful leadership experience while staying in the classroom A supportive, high-performing environment with strong, grounded school leadership Significant voice in school decisions and in your own development Weekly instructional feedback and ample time in the schedule for collaboration Highly competitive compensation and a culture that recognizes, develops, and values excellence Please note that Foundations College Prep hires regardless of race, ethnicity, country of origin, gender, sexual orientation, or special need.
