Great Oaks Charter School - Bridgeport

Great Oaks Charter School is a tuition-free public charter school in Bridgeport serving grades 6 through 12, built on three pillars:
Mastery, Leadership, and Community. Our embedded Ameri Corps tutoring program puts an extra adult in every ELA and Math classroom because small-group instruction should not be a luxury reserved for private schools.

We are not a place that lowers expectations to match circumstances.

We invest in the adults who invest in our students. Every staff member, in every role, is supported by dedicated academic coaches, real professional development, and a culture where colleagues actually show up for one another. You will not be left to figure it out alone.

We are not interested in burning people out and replacing them. We are interested in building careers.

What you do at Great Oaks today shapes what is possible for our students tomorrow. That is not a slogan. That is the job.

We are not finished.

If that sounds like the kind of place you want to work, keep reading.

We hire for talent, character, and conviction across every role at our school. Whether you teach, lead, support students, or keep our operations running, the mission is the same: every Great Oaks student gets what they need to build the future they choose.
