Comp Sci High is a 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, 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, and 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.

To ensure every student graduates with a college acceptance letter, high tech skills, real work experience, and a plan to turn those opportunities into a successful career and ensure economic mobility by attaining the national median income by age 25.

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.

Our Physics and Engineering Teacher will design and teach an engaging, hands-on two-year course that introduces students to Engineering as an entry point to Physics, leading to high pass rates on the Regents Physics Exam. Our Physics Teacher will help continue to build and join a department that prepares every student to apply their knowledge to succeed in STEM majors and careers.

Our Physics and Engineering Teacher needs to be an excellent classroom teacher, have a passion for curriculum design, and must have a strong skill set for differentiating lessons to meet students’ needs. The Physics and Engineering Teacher will:

• Develop and deliver a Physics and Engineering course that engages students with a hands-in introduction to Engineering, delivers excellent results, teaches students to problem solve, and shows students the connections between Engineering, Physics and their other STEM courses (CS and Algebra);
• Teach four sections of 9th grade Physics & Engineering, with 75%+ students on track to pass the Regents Physics Exam in 10th grade;
• 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 the faculty, students, and parents to build an innovative, exciting, and effective school model that achieves our mission and impacts education reform nationwide.

Teachers’ hours will be 8:15-4:30 daily, with the student academic day running from 9:00-1:30 on Wednesdays, and 9:00-4:30 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 around July 25th, and the school year will begin in late August.

Salary: $75,000 - $120,000. We offer very competitive benefits, commensurate with experience, and great opportunities for professional and career development.

• We believe students succeed when adults build a close, collaborative community and strive relentlessly for excellence. We are also building a new school. With those things in mind, we are looking for teachers who strive for excellence—who constantly push themselves, their colleagues, their school leaders, and their students to be better;
• who love to build community with students, families, and colleagues;
• who see and respect BIPOC students, different cultures, and kids from the Bronx;
• who are willing to learn and grow from students, staff, managers, and coaches;
• 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.

• Experience teaching in an urban school, with a track record of excellent student growth;
• A passion for science;
• Experience writing/designing curriculum;
• Experience differentiating for students of many abilities;
• A demonstrated commitment to working with teens;
• Willingness to learn more and incorporate tech skills
