About AppleTree

AppleTree’s mission is to close the achievement gap before students get to kindergarten. To accomplish this mission, we focus exclusively on Preschool and Pre-K education. We provide free, full-day public charter school programming for three- and four-year olds in 12 locations across Washington, DC, employing our innovative and award-winning instructional model, called Every Child Ready (ECR). This instructional model provides educators with tools and resources for “What to Teach”, “How to Teach” and “How to Measure Success.” Our instructional model is also used with partners across the nation. We continuously test and improve this model through feedback from AppleTree educators, partners, and other stakeholders to ensure that children are learning and exploring through play and appropriate instruction.

Position Summary

Principals lead their AppleTree Early Learning Public Charter School (AELPCS) campuses in every aspect of school management including instruction, school operations, and community engagement/partnership building. Principals serve as the face of their school and ambassador for AppleTree, leading instructional staff, providing training, setting goals, and monitoring progress toward closing the achievement gap before students enter kindergarten. They also provide managerial supervision to school-based operational staff ensuring school operations run efficiently and effectively. Lastly, Principals are responsible for building effective relationships with the communities we serve to ensure our programs and practices meet the needs of stakeholders and communicate AppleTree’s value proposition.
