“We’ve reimagined what high school can be by asking one essential question:
What do students really need to thrive in life, not just in school?”
- Steve Levitt

First of all, you’re not going to be a “teacher” anymore. You’re going to be a Guide.

We will still need you to be an expert in your discipline, but you won’t be lecturing to classes, and you won’t be grading homework.

Instead, most of your time will be spent coaching students who will have responsibility for their own education. You will help them find their motivation, stay on track, and get unstuck. You will occasionally teach and support students in your content area, and you will be leading Socratic discussions or interactive Wonder Sessions. You will be helping students connect ideas and find deeper truths. In short, you’ll be doing what you hoped to do when you first chose this profession.

Second, our school is a work in progress and will continually evolve along with our learners. If you want to work here, you will have to be comfortable adapting quickly and not always know what’s coming next. If you crave structure and routine, this is not the school for you.

Finally, you will be part of a small team of educators, in partnership with passionate institutions like ASU Prep, ASU, University of Chicago’s Center for RISC, and BluePrint Schools Network, making this happen. Leaders and teachers are as close to students as possible; no fleet of administrators. You and your merry band of revolutionaries will be remaking American high school education.

If by some remote chance you’re still interested, we would love to talk to you. You’ll find some more details below, along with a bunch of stuff the lawyers make us put in here.
