Who We Are

Comp Sci High is a new charter high school serving the South Bronx that opened in August of 2018.

Our founding team came together to start CSH because we believe that students in the Bronx can and will join the next generation of programmers, tech entrepreneurs, and computer scientists, and overall become leading professionals with tech skills for any industry. We wanted to build a new kind of high school--a high school that truly prepares kids for their lives after graduation. We also wanted to build a community of adults with strong connections to each other, to kids and families, and to the Bronx community.

We are looking for an inspiring, talented, visionary, educator to join our amazing team, help us continue to build our school, and, one day, lead one of the city’s best and most innovative high schools.

Our Mission

To ensure every student graduates with a college acceptance letter, high-tech skills, real work experience, and a robust plan to turn those opportunities into a successful career where they will achieve the household median income of the U.S. by the age of 25.

Our Values and Beliefs

At CSH, we value diverse views and ideas. But, we believe that every adult in our community needs to share a core set of values and beliefs in order to give our students and families the school they deserve.

What Our Computer Science Teacher Will:

Mission: Our Computer Science Teacher will ensure our students develop a love of Computer Science through Inquiry and Project Based Lessons. We want our students to understand how Computer Science is a part of and impacts everything around us. Our CS teachers need to be able to show our students where computer science fits into their own lives and to help bridge the gap of computer literacy.

Job Description: Our CS Teacher needs to be an excellent classroom teacher and be passionate about Computer Science education. You do not need years of formal classroom experience, but you should be able to teach core CS content in various contexts (workshop, small pull-out, classroom).

The CS Teacher will

  • Work with the Department Chair and Managing Director of Curriculum and Instruction to ensure quality lessons and assessments.;

  • Teach four sections of CS, either CS Principles, AP CS, or Software Engineering

  • Build strong relationships with students, families, and the Bronx community;

  • Lead an advisory, supporting and mentoring 10-15 students and building close relationships with their families;

  • Collaborate with faculty, students, and parents to build an innovative, exciting, and effective school model that achieves our mission and impacts education reform nationwide;

  • Work closely with a co-teacher to develop lesson plans, provide students with grades and timely feedback, modify instruction, incorporate high leverage co-teaching models, utilize study data to inform lesson planning, schedule and attend regular planning and norming meetings, prepare for and attend IEP meetings;

  • Attend regular 2x1 meetings with direct manager and co-teacher, attend 1x1 meetings with direct manager, attend weekly department meetings;

  • Attend professional development opportunities both on campus and in collaboration with outside organizations;

  • Incorporate equity into curriculum, lesson design, instruction;

  • Collaborate with teachers across the Humanities department to execute on interdisciplinary initiatives and competency/standard alignment;

  • Be receptive to receiving vertical and lateral feedback from colleagues as well as managers, and participate in the formal 360 review process.

Teachers’ hours will be 8:00-4:30 daily, with the student academic day running from 9:00-1:00 on Wednesdays, and 9:00-4:00 on other days. Teachers may elect to lead an after-school extra-curricular club or coach a sport for an additional stipend. In the summer of the upcoming school year new teacher PD will begin on or around August 11, and the school year will begin in September.

Pay and Benefits

We offer very competitive pay and benefits, ranging from $70,000 to $110,000 commensurate with experience, along with a tuition reimbursement program and great opportunities for professional and career development.

Who We’re Looking For

Mindset

We believe students succeed when adults build a close, collaborative community and strive relentlessly for excellence. We are also approaching school and education in a new way. With those things in mind, we are looking for teachers:

  • who are flexible and can pivot quickly;

  • who are excited to engage with equity work and incorporate it into their teaching practice;

  • who understand the importance of helping students to make connections with their content;

  • who demonstrate time management and personal organization skills;

  • who believe that all students can succeed, even if they learn at different rates and in different ways;

  • who love to build community with students, families, and colleagues;

  • who are excited by the idea of founding something new and innovative;

  • who possess an entrepreneurial or founder’s mentality; and

  • who want to grow and develop in their careers.
