Great Oaks Charter School - Bridgeport | Grades 6 - 8
Three things are true about us.
One. A child's zip code should not determine their future.
We are a tuition-free public charter school in Bridgeport, built on three pillars: Mastery, Leadership, and Community. Our embedded AmeriCorps tutoring program puts an extra adult in every ELA and Math classroom because small-group instruction should not be a luxury reserved for private schools.
We are not a place that lowers expectations to match circumstances.
Two. We invest in the adults who invest in our students.
Every staff member, in every role, is supported by dedicated academic coaches, real professional development, and a culture where colleagues actually show up for one another. You will not be left to figure it out alone.
We are not interested in burning people out and replacing them. We are interested in building careers.
Three. We are building something for Bridgeport that did not exist before we got here.
What you do at Great Oaks today shapes what is possible for our students tomorrow. That is not a slogan. That is the job.
We are not finished.
If that sounds like the kind of place you want to work, keep reading.
Middle school math is where students either start to see themselves as math people or start to write themselves off. You will be the teacher who refuses to let any student write themselves off.
You will teach the conceptual foundations and procedural fluency students need to succeed in algebra and beyond. You will partner with our embedded AmeriCorps tutors to make sure no student falls through the cracks, and you will collaborate with a math team that takes the work seriously.
Great Oaks Charter School is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, or any other characteristic protected by law. We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive community and encourage candidates from all backgrounds to apply
