Great Place for Growth

Brand strategist

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Network level teams at Classical are pretty lean. So, everyone within a team takes on a wider breadth of responsibilities than what would be typical at a larger organization. As a result, even new employees are able to participate in network-wide decisions and work autonomously on large projects. It's a great place for someone who may be looking to build a wide skill set in their field.

Cons

You have to be comfortable problem-solving on your own and managing up to get the support you need. Teams are certainly open to collaboration, but you have to be the one to seek out support.

Business Outlook

Pros

Outcomes oriented: one of the highest performing schools in the state--making a real, measurable, life-changing difference for students in the South Bronx. Students at Classical have a fundamentally different set of opportunities than their peer because of the strength of their education, and it's great to be a part of that every day. Phenomenal teacher development--a rigorous curriculum, intensive coaching (2x per week) with a growth mindset. Perfect place to start a teaching career.

Cons

Rigid structure for students and adults; the system works very well so there isn't much room for innovation. Leadership is stretched too thin due to growth. Like most mission-driven work, the work is hard and the hours are long.
