Quick Apply Full-time 3 hours ago Full Job Description Who We Are:
School in the Square (S2) is a fast-growing charter school currently serving elementary and middle school students, with plans to serve families from Pre-K through High School by 2023.
S2 engages, educates and empowers its students to respond mindfully and creatively to life’s opportunities and challenges.
Drawing its name from the concept of the public square or la placita, S2 is where communities come together to solve problems and celebrate successes.
Here, students, families and educators are seen, heard, and inspired.
S2 students build the academic foundations, social-emotional intelligence, and the leadership skills necessary to excel in college and professional life.
Our community is grounded in principles of justice, equity, diversity and inclusivity (JEDI), enacting a culturally responsive and sustaining lens to our pedagogical practice and consistently examining the ways we can continue to walk firmly in the pursuit of social justice and against injustice of any kind.
