Pros

Salary once you get a cert and masters

Cons

This place takes good employees and turns them into unmotivated robots. If you're joining through the fellowship, there will be no work like balance whatsoever. This is a lifestyle position. I Expect to eat, breathe, and sleep Classical. You will be penalized for not answering emails and not completing trivial tasks that have little to do with actually teaching your students. I have often worked 12 hour days and suffered health issues related to stress. The salary isn't even worth it because of the long hours (~25 an hour). Also, they have stopped removing violent problem students, even when they put teachers and students in harm's way. They will blame you for all of your students' behaviors and their scores even if they refuse to pay attention.

Pros

* Teachers are provided with classroom materials and resources. * Teachers are not required to pay for or print materials on their own. * Operations team supports printing and material preparation.

Cons

* Printing machines frequently break down, causing delays and disruptions. * Teachers do not have direct access to printing and must rely on Operations. * Teacher supply requests are often limited or denied despite classroom needs. * Staff morale and student joy feel very low or nonexistent. * School leadership creates a culture of fear when data is not where it is expected to be. * There is little accountability placed on parents regarding attendance and scholar responsibilities. * Attendance policies are extremely strict for staff and students. * Spirit days lack excitement because students are often still restricted by uniform expectations. * Overall school culture can feel overly rigid and stressful rather than supportive and uplifting.
