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.

Camden Prep is consistently the highest performing of all district or Renaissance schools in Camden, NJ.

Job Description

Uncommon Middle School Science teachers work in grade-level teams to prepare all students with the tools and knowledge to critically engage in the field of science.

Science teachers employ a variety of instructional strategies to develop a passion for scientific questioning and analysis in their students.
