Why WHIN?

WHIN Music Community Charter School is the first school of its kind Built on the principles of El Sistema, WHIN is a place where children learn, grow, and make music together. At WHIN, we are building a nucleo, a community where staff, families, and students work together to make a powerful shift in public education that puts learners’ needs first.

 Our Mission:

To provide our diverse student population with rigorous academic instruction, intensive music education and a positive learning environment so that every student can thrive academically and personally.

In action, our mission looks like caring deeply about all aspects of our young learners’ potential. We make academics a priority while also ensuring students’ character and personal growth.

  • Contributing to the Child Study Team assessments of student needs
  • Collaborating with colleagues to implement an effective science curriculum
  • Inspiring students and fellow staff to perform at his or her highest potential
  • Developing and maintaining strong and professional relationships with WHIN families
  • Uphold all school policies within the classroom
  • Attend designated school functions outside of school hours
  • Attend and participate in all school/parent meetings
  • Contribute to the planning and execution of all school-wide events
  • Receive and implement feedback from school leaders and other staff
  • Participate with enthusiasm in all school wide professional development

  • Experience teaching science and exceptional knowledge of the Next Generation Science Standards
  • Demonstrated success raising achievement levels of all students
  • An unwavering belief that all students can achieve at a high level
  • Proven commitment and success working with students and families
  • The ability to thrive in a startup environment
  • The ability to excel in a fast-paced, dynamic, and exciting school
  • A sense of humor and kindness towards your colleagues
