Our founding team came together to start CSH because we believe that students in the Bronx can and will join the next generation of entrepreneurs, tech leaders, and Bronx success stories. 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 inspiring, talented, visionary educators to join our amazing team and help us continue to build one of the city’s best and most innovative high schools.

Our mission is to give every student a path to economic freedom. We also want to educate our students to be ethical, confident, thoughtful, affirmed, and reflective. But, above all else, our mission is to ensure that every student has a path to the national household median income by the age of 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.

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 August 15th, and the school year will begin in late August.

Salary: $73,000 - $120,000. We offer very competitive benefits, commensurate with experience, and great opportunities for professional and career development.
