The school’s mission has centered around promoting rich, transformative learning experiences in a classroom setting that is rigorous, diverse, inclusive, emotionally supportive, and growth-promoting. We see exceptional math teaching as that which enriches conceptual understanding, builds/strengthens mathematical practices, inspires the intellect, and expands the student’s sense of what is achievable and possible within the world. Our dynamic, highly-trained faculty is exceptionally well-versed in student psychology and utilizes emotional intelligence as a foundation for promoting rich pedagogy and deep, meaningful learning experiences.

The ideal candidate should possess a Master’s degree or higher in Mathematics, Math Education, or a closely related field. The candidate should be motivated and capable of working with students possessing a wide range of capabilities, strengths, and weaknesses.
