Pros

This is an organization driven by meaning and mission. It is a dynamic place to work. There are lots of talented staff, wonderful students, and thoughtful educators committed to building a progressive and innovative education. The students and the student experience are amazing, as are the variety of programs and learning opportunities. Much of the staff works in teams to create and enhance curriculum and student experiences - so if you jive with your team, it's awesome. It's a really cool opportunity to participate in the conversation about what education needs to become for the future students will inherit.

Cons

It's a passionate place full of passionate people. It's a big staff with lots of people, ideas, programs, and needs in the mix - being flexible, collaborative, and communicative are essential. This is not the place to go if you prefer to teach solo or believe there is one right way to do things. If you are adept at perspective taking and like being a part of a team, you will enjoy working here.
