About The Position

Join School in the Square in reimagining PreK-12th grade education in Washington Heights and Inwood. A tuition-free public charter school, we were founded in 2016 on our "relationships first" philosophy: making sure that we engage, educate, and empower our students, families, and professional team members. We invite you to be a part of a 175+ team whose mission-aligned culture offers sustainable, rewarding career paths in teaching, operations, and leadership, built on relationships-first collaboration and mutual support. Experience the difference at a workplace that celebrates and cultivates each team member's passions, skills, and multi-disciplinary interests as we build a brighter future together, one student at a time. Our Middle School at School in the Square is our founding campus at S2, where we began our belief that a culture of care leads to a culture of achievement. Our middle school is located in Washington Heights where our programs are designed with students' personal interests and learning styles in mind. S2's program is dedicated to providing each student with the tools and support to become lifelong learners. That includes embracing that 89% of S2 families are Hispanic or Latinx. We are looking for dedicated, mission-aligned teachers across grade levels 6-8. Reporting to our Principal and in collaboration with a diverse and committed School Leadership Team (SLT), you will support our efforts to ensure high academic standards while also focusing on the social-emotional needs of all students.
