The Queen City Difference
At Queen City Academy Charter School, teachers are our most treasured assets. We
expect academic and character excellence from QCACS students, and our teachers help

preparation and support to rise to that challenge. Therefore, teacher recruitment at
QCACS is a vitally important process through which we seek to attract and retain
educators with an immediately discernible passion for helping children meet their
highest potential. Teachers work in a collegial setting where the faculty and
administration collaborate to ensure a high quality education experience for students,
while benefiting from supportive parent partners who are deeply committed to their
children’s success.

QCACS, have a positive and professional attitude, exhibit a strong work ethic (including
