If that’s the case, then we already know each other – please reach out asap so I can lean in and help support your success. Kristina Mercado, Teacher-in-Residence Program Director

Pros

More competitive compensation for teachers, established and well-practiced curricula, and a culture of genuine concern for children.

Cons

Intense hours and myriad responsibilities outside of the classroom make work-life balance very challenging.
