Good, but not yet great

Teacher

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Extraordinary students and colleagues; rigorous academics; emphasis on importance of dialectic in education; excellent administration as well as latitude given to teachers at some (if not all) schools.

Cons

Abysmal pay; no formal training for middle/high school teachers; high expectations and demands on teacher's time; rapid and perhaps imprudent expansion of network. (Did I mentioned abysmal pay?)

Pretty Good Schools, Pretty Bad Career Option

Secondary school teacher

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

I worked with a lot of bright, recent university graduates who through general talent, resourcefulness and hard work provided students who matched the school's implicit profile with an exceptional middle-secondary education.

Cons

From day 1 there was nowhere to go as a viable career. They take smart new grads who haven't figured out where to work yet and burn them out with low resources and extra responsibilities. There are also older teachers who generally have kids at the schools and/or subscribe to the philosophy that a heavy humanities curriculum is the only possible way to get a good education for all children and circumstances.

Students are held to a high standard, teachers are held to an even higher standard. Virtues are wonderful to talk about each day. Beautiful campus.

Cons

Lacks teaching resources, does not pay competitively.
