SY25-26 High School Math Teacher
About The Position
Vertex Partnership Academies is a public charter International Baccalaureate World High School with a classical core in the heart of the Bronx. Our mission is to provide students with pathways for upward mobility while preparing them for the responsibilities of self-governance in a democratic republic. Everything we do is rooted in the four cardinal virtues : courage, justice, temperance, and wisdom. Our Lower Academy curriculum is designed to teach timeless truths in pursuit of the good , the true , and the beautiful . All students train in the seven classical liberal arts of the Trivium and Quadrivium, with explicit instruction and practice of logic, grammar, and rhetoric, choose between Spanish and Latin, and trace the development of the Western Tradition. Our Upper Academy provides students with rich options equal in rigor and stature: a Humanities-focused pathway with AP courses, or three different International Baccalaureate Career-related Programme pathways: Biomedical Science, Computer Science and Cybersecurity, and Montessori Early Childhood Education, all of which have real-world partners and result in an industry credential. At Vertex, our students have agency . Each day, they make choices about the kind of people they want to become, the lives they want to lead, and the society they want to build. It’s our sacred duty to equip them with the knowledge most worth having, to sharpen their critical thinking, and to create a space where they grapple with diverse viewpoints, express cogent arguments, and engage in democratic discourse.
