<div class="content-intro"><h3>About Freire Schools</h3> <p>Established in 1999, Freire Schools (<a href="https://www.freireschools.org">www.freireschools.org</a>) is a network of four charter schools across Philadelphia and Delaware whose mission is to prepare students from historically underserved communities for success in college and beyond. We’re distinguished by our belief in every student who walks through our doors, our strong code of conduct and commitment to peace that ensures a safe environment for all, our sense of family throughout our community, and our joyous and engaged classrooms that focus on academic achievement. As evidence of our impact, in 2023 Stanford’s Center for Research on Education Outcomes ranked Freire Schools in the top 15 in the country for academic gains out of 368 charter networks nationwide.</p></div><h2><strong>About the team</strong></h2> <p>For this High School Science Teacher position, you’ll be working for one of our two high schools in Philadelphia.
