Los Angeles Education Corps is a WASC-accredited charter high school with four campuses within LA's urban core. We provide small learning communities of approximately 140 students per campus and 15-30 students per class. We seek to provide a superior alternative for students and families who are unsatisfied with their larger, neighborhood high schools. Typically, many of our students were unsuccessful in their previous high school experience due to a combination of disorder and apathy on their previous campuses coupled with their own personal baggage and bad habits. We seek to offer them a second chance within our innovative charter school model, which combines small class sizes with caring teachers, one counselor for every 40 students, and an emphasis on giving back to the community through service and projects. Our results are as follows: 100% senior class passing rate on the CAHSEE, 92% college acceptance rate for our graduates, and an API score that exceeds our larger neighborhood high schools by over 100 points.

Job opportunity:  We currently have a Math teacher opening at our College Bridge Academy campus in El Sereno (Northeast Los Angeles). Our Fall semester begins the last week of August, but we would like to hire someone at the beginning of August so that they would have sufficient time to prepare their lesson plans, etc.

Our ideal candidate would have the following characteristics: ? experience working with youth living in at-risk situations and a passion for educational social justice ? previous teaching experience (whether in a traditional or nontraditional setting) passion for students who’ve previously been unsuccessful in school ? interest beyond merely teaching, to include extracurricular activities (art? sports? drama? dance? technology? camping? college road trips? photography? what extra talents do you bring?)
