DC Prep - Washington, DC
posted 10 days ago
About the position
DC Prep is a high performing network of public charter schools serving over 2,100 preschool through 8th-grade students across six campuses in Wards 5, 7, and 8. We're proud of the high bar we set for ourselves to achieve results-our students deserve our best! We recognize that how we support our students to be successful is just as important as the results we achieve, which pushes us to reflect on questions such as: How can we facilitate our students' academic, social, and emotional development? How can we support our team members' professional growth and personal ability to do this work long-term? How can we engage our students' families as our own? While this work is hard, it's worth it - we believe in the transformative power of education, the can-do-itness of our students and staff, and the joy that comes from engaging in meaningful work with people we care about and trust!
