Who You Are:

You want to be a world‑class project‑based learning teacher.

You thrive while collaborating and are excited to work with mission‑aligned, high‑performing colleagues. You find positivity in shared successes.

You’re excited to teach Summit’s common curriculum and assessment system, which was designed for teachers and by teachers in partnership with learning scientists.

You care deeply about working in intentionally heterogeneous schools and are ready to support all diverse students to reach a fulfilled life.

You’re eager to engage in professional development and be developed as a practitioner in a network that is committed to continuous improvement.

You have a growth mindset and see feedback as a positive.

You are passionate about serving as a mentor and advocate for a group of students that you’ll follow year to year. You’re open to having hard conversations to support students.

In addition to joining a highly motivated team and engaging in meaningful work, you may have access, if applicable, to a comprehensive suite of benefits including a retirement plan, “take what you need” PTO policy, 12 paid holidays, and 3 weeks of organization‑wide closures during the year.
