Math Teacher- HUMANITIES

United Charter High Schools is committed to academic excellence in a welcoming, safe school environment. We develop, enlighten and challenge a range of learners to critically and creatively solve problems inside their classrooms, in their communities and out in the world. Through a rigorously structured system of teaching and learning, students advance their understanding of science, math and humanities concepts and master content, knowledge and skills, while project-based experiences spark their civic imagination and appetite for advocacy leadership.

At any of our 7 charter high schools (Advanced Math and Science / Humanities) across the Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens, students receive personalized academic and social emotional support, have access to a range of clubs, sports teams, leadership opportunities and internships, and maintain a focus on college and career readiness.

United Charter High Schools (UCHS) provide all students, regardless of their previous academic history, the highest quality education in an atmosphere of respect, responsibility and rigor. We ensure that our students have the skills and knowledge to graduate ready for college, pursue a career, and engage with the 21st century economy. We develop learning experiences that allow risk-taking, cultivate students' imaginative and creative abilities, and celebrate achievement.

All United Charter teachers work with a diverse range of students to develop content knowledge and skills through collaborative classroom work, reading, writing, discussion, and authentic exploration/experimentation.
