Our People

Committed to diversity in urban education

Our Teachers and Staff

Our teachers and staff are what make us unique. We are committed to diversity and push our community members to bring 100% of themselves to work. What makes them unique makes our community rich. We fundamentally believe that urban students benefit from interacting and learning from a diverse group of adults. In addition to benefiting students, we think that heterogeneous teams outperform homogeneous teams in complex and dynamic environments like schools.
