What a shame

Pros

The students are what made the school such a wonderful place to work.

Cons

My experience with New Way Academy has been disappointing, particularly with the direction of the new administration over the last three years. They are really running the school into the ground unfortunately. What are their roles exactly? Over time, I have watched several long-term, experienced teachers leave, and it does not appear that retaining seasoned educators is a priority. The turnover has impacted consistency and classroom stability, which is concerning for families investing in their children’s education. I would encourage parents to take a close look at who is currently teaching in the classrooms. In some cases, staff members who were originally hired for aftercare roles have transitioned into lead teaching positions when mid-year vacancies occurred. While many of these individuals may be caring and well-intentioned, some do not appear to have formal teaching degrees or the level of training one would expect at a school with this tuition level. For the cost of attendance, families deserve transparency about teacher qualifications and a strong commitment to retaining experienced educators.

Set in their ways.

Pros

Teachers want what’s best for their students. Admin does try to care about their employees (I.e.,, providing extrinsic perks). Students are happy overall.

Cons

Poor communication from admin. Some definite favoritism observed. Aren’t that open to new ideas. Very much a “This the way we’ve always done it, so should you” culture. Not much opportunity for professional growth. Though students seem happy, the school focuses much more on students’ social/emotional growth (which is not necessarily a bad thing) relative to focusing on academic achievement. Low academic rigor overall and low expectations from admin for teachers to utilize best practices.

Pros

Great place to work with talented well trained staff. Teachers are given the flexibility to create their own lesson plans or to collaborate with other team members. Fun energizing work environment.

Cons

Pay equity seems off. Lots of extra work with no extra compensation unless you are willing to be persistent in asking for it. Which many people don’t ask so they never see increase pay for the extra duties.
