Who we are
Meeting Street Schools (MSS), a unique network of five schools across South Carolina, was founded on the belief that all students can learn and deserve the opportunity to receive a high-quality education, regardless of their socio-economic background. It is our belief that a student’s zip code should not determine a student’s access to quality education. At MSS, we believe in a holistic approach to education and work to provide any and all resources that facilitate student success in the classroom and beyond as part of our twenty-year commitment from early childhood to college access.
Who we're looking for
We are searching for people with a strong mission fit and tight alignment to our belief that all students — regardless of life circumstances – can and will succeed. We seek people who have the motivation, drive, compassion, and commitment to ensure that all students reach their full potential. You demonstrate our #SolidGreen Core Values every day, including a “Never Stop Learning” mindset and a “Grit & Grind” work ethic that allows you to successfully maneuver through unfamiliar situations. High-performing people, who desire to join us in our mission to change the status quo of education in South Carolina and prove that higher learning is not only possible but expected for ALL students, are encouraged to apply.
