Pros

- wonderful teachers, positive culture between teachers - operations team is very helpful and they work really hard - wonderful students and families

Cons

- disconnected academic team, shows little interest in supporting teachers, they love to talk, but don't back up their words or actions - no principal, academic team doesn't get support and management they need - little prep time with team meetings happening during preps - the culture team is trying, but lack of support from academic directors makes the job of holding students to high standards difficult - network seems misguided, out of touch with what the school really needs. Doesn't listen to any ideas from staff, it's their way or the highway type mentality. - I've heard people are fearful to speak up because they are in fear of repercussions from superiors - I could go on and on

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We hope that you were able to relay your concerns to school and network leadership as we're always trying to improve. Teacher prep time is of the utmost importance and we have well over an hour each day devoted to planning time. We also have principals in place at each of our schools, all of whom have several years of teaching and leadership experience.

Pros

Great People to work with. Working with kids is honestly the best part,

Cons

There needs to be more support for school operations. Ops team is over worked and tired. We don't have the same breaks as teachers. The main office is always over-crowded. Not enough training and development if you want to grow there.
