Company Description

Uncommon Schools is a nonprofit network of high-performing, public charter schools providing an outstanding K-12 education in historically under-resourced communities. We have proudly built schools that reflect our student population, with more than 60% of our teachers and staff across our network identifying as a person of color. Uncommon currently manages 53 schools serving more than 20,000 students in five cities: Boston, Camden, New York City, Newark and Rochester. We are proud that Uncommon graduates persist in and graduate from college at five times the rate of their peers nationally. We achieve this by offering strong academic, co-curricular, and social-emotional learning that prepares students for success in college and beyond.

  • Advising students on academic issues including choosing a major, building relationships with professors, study habits, time management, etc.
  • Making individualized academic plans with each student reflecting on strengths and weaknesses and setting appropriate goals to push student’s growth
  • Helping students take full advantage of their post-collegiate experience; meeting each student where they are and then pushing them to work towards next steps in his/her personal progress.
  • Helping connect students to resources on campus including study abroad opportunities, academic help centers, writing centers, advisement offices, mental health offices, etc.
  • Assisting with re-enrollment and transfer processes
  • Pushing into College Seminar; leading high school based family workshop introducing the Alumni Support Program.
