**Empowering Students through Innovative Leadership**

Intrinsic Schools is a pioneering charter network in Chicago dedicated to reimagining public education. Our model prepares students for postsecondary success and world-changing endeavors by emphasizing collaboration, belonging, and personalized goals. We strive to create a learning environment that fosters empathy, perseverance, identity, and curiosity – our EPIC Core Values.

Our approach focuses on the whole child, combining academic excellence with personal agency. We use mastery-forward grading, Choice Days, Student-Led Conferences, and Advisory classes to support student growth. Our school culture prioritizes student voices, relationships, and high expectations. To ensure a safe and joyful learning environment, we rely on restorative practices and consequences when necessary.

We provide personalized postsecondary support, which sets us apart from other schools. Every graduating senior has a plan in place for life after high school, developed in collaboration with their family. While 90% of our seniors matriculate directly into college, we believe all students should have opportunities to explore various post-graduation paths that lead to fulfilling careers and long-term financial stability.

The ideal candidate will have a proven track record of achieving academic excellence as an individual and through the leadership of other adults. They must be able to drive stronger student outcomes through the use of data, foster dynamic environments with a consistent, warm, and welcoming culture, and demonstrate a deep commitment to constant self-reflection, improvement, and innovation.

The estimated salary for this role is $150,000 annually, commensurate with experience. Intrinsic Schools is an Equal Opportunity Employer, ensuring equal employment opportunities regardless of race, creed, gender, color, national origin, religion, age, sexual orientation, or disability.
