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.
