MESA Links is a growing network of high-performing charter schools serving the diverse communities of Brooklyn. Our flagship campus,
Math, Engineering, and Science Academy (MESA) Charter High School
, opened its doors in Bushwick in August 2013 and now serves 500 students in grades 9-12. Since graduating our first class of seniors in 2017,

Building on the success of our flagship school,
MESA Links is expanding to meet the growing demand for high-quality education in Brooklyn and is projected to double in size over the next 5 years:

• MESA South Brooklyn launched this year with its inaugural 9th grade class of 130 students, offering a rigorous college-preparatory program that mirrors the excellence of our flagship campus.
• MESA East New York will launch its high school campus in SY 26-27, bringing the same high-quality experience to students in the East New York & Cypress Hill communities.
• Our MESA Alumni Lab supports 125 young adults (ages 18-24) from across NYC, helping them re-engage with their education and career pathways through small-group workshops and interventions.

To support this expansion, we are seeking a part-time
