Pros

It is great for beginning teachers who would like experience while getting coaching. It has opportunities to work within the school and cross-collaborate. Students are extremely creative, and enthusiastic, and test boundaries but once they get to know you they are excited to learn with you.

Cons

It is very hard to get the curriculum updated because it is a scripted curriculum. It is a busy schedule where you may not see students as frequently as you would like. Students' class sizes vary due to testing, therefore you may have students start randomly in the year or you never see them at all.

Pros

Nice coworkers, great kids and Decent pay. You don't have to being teaching alone until they think you are ready, first they start you as a teaching assistant.

Cons

Kids have very little downtime meaning you have to keep on them to stop talking all the time.

Classical Charter Schools Response

Thank you for providing your feedback. Classical Charter Schools have won the National Blue-Ribbon award 4 times thanks to the high level of structure especially around management and curriculum. We also value providing our scholars with a well-rounded education. One way we encourage this is by providing clubs for our 3-8 scholars. Different clubs are led by teachers that are passionate about specific topics and activities. This is a great way for teachers to share passion projects with their scholars outside the typical classroom. Classical has long hours to accommodate working families who benefit from our later dismissal. We incorporate many staff events including happy hours, lunches, artistic activities, sporting events, and more to spread joy for the hard-working staff. Since the pandemic, teacher turnover has been high across the country and at Classical. We have made significant progress since 2020, however we consistently are looking to grow by collecting feedback from our staff to improve retention. Currently 82% of our staff feel encouraged in their development, and we are looking to grow that number. At Classical Charter Schools, we are trying our best to address concerns by promoting a staff survey with changes and ideas for growth. Directors and leaders also ask for feedback from staff as well as holding office hours to help address any concerns. We are actively trying to retain our staff and any actionable feedback is welcome. Thanks again for leaving a review and for continuing to make an impact on our scholars!
