The organization attracts an amazing mission-driven staff who are dedicated to providing academic, enrichment, and social emotional learning opportunities to the children and families of East Harlem. You really feel like your efforts are making a difference. The organization is also dedicated to professional development and supporting staff. New ideas are welcome and appreciated and senior management is very accessible and appreciative.
Cons
The dreams for our students and families are so big that there is so much to do. The workplace is very busy, but everyone helps out and the culture is very supportive and there are many celebrations of individual and team achievements.
- Many opportunities for growth as this is a growing organization that is adding new leadership and teaching roles each year.
-Many opportunities after school and on Saturdays to earn extra money and work with scholars. Most of the experiences are quite enjoyable even though you are putting in extra time.
- Great Staff Culture and team morale.
-Awesome Principal!
- The school focuses and academics and teaching "The Whole Child"
-They truly believe in and push their core values that hopefully have scholars growing up to be leaders in the school community and outside of school.
- Fabulous new building with the works, smart boards are new and lots of technology for use for scholars.
Cons
- The Professional Development is still a work in progress but I think they are attempting something that other schools are not in terms of racial equity and the work it takes to teach black/brown scholars.
-The benefits package could be better especially concerning women who are pregnant and building families.
