Ascend is a network of K-12 public schools in Brooklyn dedicated to providing all students rich and challenging academics coupled with joyful learning experiences that empower them to live a life of boundless choice.
We are committed to developing educators. We hone educator's skills and improve their craft through various professional development opportunities, including Teacher Professional Development sessions, school-based workshops, individualized coaching, and summer training institute. Fridays are half days for students to allow for professional development opportunities for educators.
We offer robust leadership pathways across our school. We encourage and nurture internal candidate growth into leadership positions such as School Principal, Assistant Principal, Assistant Principal of Operations, Dean of Culture and Community, Principal in Residence, among others.
We highlight the significance of mental health through Wellness Days, giving educators time off to concentrate on their personal lives. Additionally, we provide generous vacation policies, including a total of three weeks paid during Thanksgiving and the December holidays.
We foster a tight-knit, responsive community of teachers, families, and students who value their relationships with one another. We foster a vibrant, diverse, inclusive community where all people can thrive as their authentic selves. Our priority is to provide a rich, supportive, and joyful work and school environment.
We believe our staff members must be windows and mirrors for our students, reflecting both those who share our students' backgrounds as well as individuals who have different life experiences. We are committed to ensuring our hiring and promotion practices are equitable, inclusive, and anti-racist. If this resonates with you, we encourage you to apply!
