Commitment
There is no more urgent task than to educate students from low-income backgrounds. So we hire professionals who are committed to the core. It's high-energy, fast-paced, tiring and sometimes all-consuming. But we wouldn't have it any other way. And neither would you.

What We Have to Offer
There are plenty of ways you can make an impact. And our team is all in. You have the opportunity to work with students, and there's always someone who's got your back from coaching you through a bad day to helping you grow professionally. And while the environment can be hectic and ever-changing, you'll have all of the technology and caffeine you need to get the job done.

What We Ask In Return
You have to be all in too. You own your work and when you reach your goals, you reach higher. Our professionals work incredibly hard, and are inspired by the urgency of what we do. We need professionals who aren't afraid to ask for help, feedback, and support. They're driven by personal responsibility, data, and results, and they're not above doing whatever's asked. They make friends at work, smile through hectic days, and add a little levity in along the way.

The Opportunity
The Apprentice Teacher position is a great opportunity for recent college graduates who are interested in pursuing a career in education, but do not have prior teaching experience. This one-year apprenticeship allows you to gain valuable experience by taking on responsibilities both inside and outside of the classroom, while receiving exceptional professional development throughout the year.
