Elementary Teacher

• Organization Overview Excel Academy was founded in 2003 with the mission to provide a high-quality, free, and public education to students in East Boston and Chelsea Massachusetts, communities that are predominantly low-income and Latinx and historically have faced significant social and educational barriers.
• Our success in Massachusetts is proof that the opportunity gap can be closed and we opened a new school in Rhode Island in 2022.
• At Excel Academy Charter Schools, we believe that when a student has the support and tools to pursue a productive post-secondary pathway aligned to their personal identity and values, it can fundamentally change their life trajectory.
• At Excel Academy we learn from our students, families, and staff and make improvements.
• We have increasingly adapted to provide a holistic education that values our community as collaborators in the learning process, social-emotional support, equity for diverse learners, and fosters identity development.
• We prioritize an approach that is both rigorous and inclusive.
• Our team of passionate, intelligent, driven, and loving staff are at the core of the work we do.
• Growth Happens Here.
