Intellectually bracing, great colleagues; low pay and hot climates are problems

Teacher

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

If you believe in teaching as if intellectual content matters, you can't find a better place to do it. If you still believe education is a search for truth, teach here. All your colleagues and even most of your students are on board for that mission: classical education.

Cons

No one becomes a high school teacher for the pay, but that seems particularly the case here. Most of us are right out of college, and many of us soon move on. Older teachers have mostly either made their fortune in some other business, or have secure second incomes in the family. One can only "move up" -and then, not much - by taking on administrative duties, which are not what attracted one to Great Hearts.
