OUR CURRENT MODEL
The model for the high school will change over time as more grade levels are added and the model is subject to change. Core content areas at the high school level include science, history, ELA, and math. High school lead teachers will likely have a homeroom class and teach several classes in their subject area. While this is a typical teaching load, some teaching loads may vary.
Any electives are selected by the school leader according to student interest and teacher certification area(s). Foreign language and elective teachers should apply through a separate posting.
COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS
Our current compensation and benefits structure is competitive and is commensurate with experience.
*The salary offered in the DocuSign doesn’t include any stipends for which the candidate may be eligible.
