Your students are waiting. Are you ready to lead a classroom?

City Teaching Alliance prepares career-changers and recent grads to become highly effective teachers - no education degree or classroom experience required to start. You'll teach in a high-need school from day one while earning a Master's degree from leading regional university partners, dual certification, and 1:1 coaching from a mentor and host teacher.

-Greater DC Metro

-Dallas and the surrounding Metroplex

-Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

• Coursework - Earn a Master’s degree from a leading regional university partner, which you can use as a launch pad for leadership roles down the line.

• Certification - Graduate with dual certification: your content area and Special Education.

• Care - Join a network of 2,400+ educators nationwide who are still showing up for students long after their first year.
