      Pros

      Structured day and of course, the children are so incredible. They offer internal growth primarily as an incentive to stay because their turnover rate is extremely high.

      Cons

      **Please be advised that while reading reviews, CCS asks their employees to write them good reviews. Therefore, some reviews are biased and not giving honest feedback** Excessively long work hours. Be prepared to work through your lunch and lose your preps due to meetings. Be prepared to stay after school for meetings that can potentially run until 7:30PM. There is NO lock down drills, shelter in place drills, etc. Classroom doors DO NOT LOCK. The bathroom door lock however if someone puts in the code and turns the handle with a bit of force the door will open. Children do not get recess and have no freedom to just act like kids. Instructional coaches are redundant and their feedback is not effective nor is it productive. You will be working 7 days a week so please be prepared for that. The talent team is not forthcoming on job descriptions. Read your contract thoroughly and be ready to ask lots of questions! This job is not for everyone because of the low work/life balance.

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts about your time at Classical. It’s unfortunate to hear that you did not have a fulfilling experience. Related to your comments on our practice of requesting company reviews, we want to clarify that we have never, and will never, curate who we ask to leave reviews or ask employees to leave positive, biased, or inaccurate reviews. We ask employees to leave reviews on Glassdoor to ensure that we are providing prospective candidates with an accurate interpretation of what it is like to work at Classical Charter Schools from the prospective of multiple staff members. Not all of the reviews that come from this practice are positive. Teaching is incredibly challenging work, especially in your first year, and we acknowledge that we ask our staff to work incredibly hard to provide scholars with an excellent education. We also acknowledge that an urgent, feedback-driven environment isn’t for everyone. Thank you for taking the time to leave this review and we encourage you to share your concerns with your Grade Team Leader and School Director.

      Pros

      - Support for teachers development is CONSTANT - Scholars grow tremendously - Lessons are scripted, require little work on teachers part, so you can focus on executing lessons effectively instead of preparing the actual lessons\units. - Coaches are incredibly supportive (emotionally and within your practice) - You will not recognize yourself as a teacher after a few years if you are dedicated to growing and learning

      Cons

      -More play time for kids is critical -Work hours can be long
