Job description

Job Details: Job Location: El Zocalo (CMO) - San Jose, CA, Position Type: Full Time, Salary Range: $95000.00 - $130000.00Salary, Job Category: Education,

Overview

Voices is a public charter school network with a mission to prepare all learners for the challenges of higher education through the context of an academically rigorous dual-immersion program. Every learner, regardless of home language, graduates bilingual and biliterate through our full-inclusion English and Spanish dual-language model.

Though 90% of Hispanic young adults say that a college degree is important for success in life, fewer than 20% aged 25 or older hold a bachelor’s degree. In contrast, only about 35% of the general American public considers college highly important, and a similar 35% hold a bachelor’s degree (2023, 2024 Pew Research). Voices College-Bound Language Academies exists to change that.

Our educational philosophy is grounded in a sociocultural approach to learning that emphasizes collaboration, language development, and culturally sustaining practices. We believe students learn best in rigorous, language-rich environments that are developmentally responsive—prioritizing play-based pedagogy in early childhood and intentional direct and interdisciplinary instruction in the upper grades. Instruction is standards-based and designed to develop bilingualism, biliteracy, and critical thinking through reflective, data-informed practice.

If our mission, model, and approach to teaching and learning resonate with you, we invite you to apply.
