    Liberty Steam Charter School 3.5company rating

    Child care teacher job in Sumter, SC

    Job Description ____________________________________________________________________________ Liberty STEAM Charter, a network of tuition-free, open-enrollment public charter schools located in Sumter, South Carolina, serves nearly 1,000 scholars in grades K-5 across three academy campuses. Authorized by the SC Public Charter School District in April 2020, LSC is the first-ever of its existence in the community and will serve scholars in grades K-12 across four academies at its build-out with grade levels being phased in overtime to ensure quality educational programming is offered to all enrolled scholars. You can view our entire charter application by clicking here. Read out 2025 annual report by clicking here. This is a unique opportunity that offers its staff autonomy and leadership opportunities. The vision and mission of the school is predicated upon a general theory of action that has been well-communicated by early supporters who believe if a school existed which emphasized a focus on STEAM career fields through project-based learning and personalized learning, seeking to provide scholars with a blend of rigorous & relevant academic and workplace learning experiences, then its graduates will leave with the competencies necessary to be successful in college or career. As such, the school will eventually serve as the cradle-to-college/workforce pipeline in the Sumter community and become an integral part of a holistic revitalization approach. The school is currently governed by a nine-member Founding Board of Directors and currently employs a leadership team of three individuals. By leveraging innovative practices common to some of the state and nation's top-performing public schools, the proposed charter school is ready to shatter the opportunity gap for all scholars. In addition to a project-based learning approach with an integration of the STEAM curriculum, scholars will be provided with a strong foundation in literacy to help define and achieve their dreams. Assembling a World-Class Faculty & Staff to Deliver on our Promise of Excellence for all Scholars The faculty and staff at LSC will be champions who believe all scholars are capable of greatness and achievement far beyond what society has been conditioned to accept. If you have what it takes, then keep reading. You will be demanders of excellence for yourself and your scholars, encouraging and accepting nothing less than scholars' best and most thoughtful work. You are already a passionate learner who is hungry for professional development and thrives on feedback. Here, you will cultivate classroom cultures built on strong structures, communication and lasting relationships. You will be part of a powerful team that is all aligned around the same goals. Every day, your hard work will prepare scholars who will go on to become graduates who will be thoughtful and engaged citizens prepared to take on the leadership challenges of the 21st century. And you'll grow. Your growth matters to us. Because doing what's best for kids means doing what's best for teachers, too. Instructional staff positions are full-time positions located in Sumter, South Carolina. Description of Sumter ___________________________________________________________________________ Known as the Gamecock City, Sumter lies near the geographic center of South Carolina. Nearly 108,000 people call Sumter their home. Sumter offers a highly diversified industrial structure and is famed for its lovely gardens and charming residential neighborhoods. Part of the well-known Santee-Cooper Lakes region, Sumter is renowned for hunting, fishing, water sports, and golf. Located between two great vacation centers, Sumter is 100 miles west of Myrtle Beach's Grand Strand and 175 miles east of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Columbia, the state capital, lies 44 miles to the west, and the major port city of Charleston is 99 miles south. Sumter is proud to be the home of Shaw Air Force Base and the Third Army, which are integral parts of our community. Sumter has become increasingly known for textiles, manufacturing, biotech industries, a thriving retail environment, and medical center of its region in addition to agricultural products, which makes it a hub for business in the east-central portion of South Carolina. The Challenge ___________________________________________________________________________ Sumter is not immune to the issue that has plagued rural communities of the Palmetto State and indeed the nation for the last several years - the local public school system is not producing enough graduates prepared to enter a rapidly changing skills-based economy. Make no mistake about it: Sumter is at an important crossroads and bold, dynamic innovation is a must if our community is to move forward and increase its global competitiveness. A 21st-century education system must be centered around preparing our young people to participate in an ever-changing economy. Early backers of the school's concept strongly believe that when kids leave school with an industry-recognized credential or some kind of skill, trade, or even a degree, they are able to take those high-wage, high-demand jobs that we desperately need to fill locally in order to further grow our Sumter economy. Solution ____________________________________________________________________________ The creation and establishment of LSC, a network of public charter schools in Sumter (South Carolina) focused on STEAM career fields through project-based learning supported by industry is the way forward. Mission: LSC will work to provide all scholars with equal access to a world-class K-12 education in an academically rigorous and scholar-centered learning environment, creating graduates who will be thoughtful and engaged citizens prepared to take on the leadership challenges of the 21st century. Vision: In partnership with our families and the community, our vision is to provide real-world interdisciplinary, personalized, and project-based learning experiences through a STEAM-based academic program where graduates become the next generation of leaders, employers, and employees who contribute to the economic well-being of their communities and families. Multiple career pathways will be offered to scholars to include industrial & engineering technology, health sciences, computer technology, and early college. The school holds a deep commitment to cultivating an inclusive & supportive community where everyone is focused on learning. The establishment of the charter school could be one part of a holistic approach to help lead a renaissance in the Sumter community and will encourage further growth, hope, and a sense of pride while being a launching pad for better education opportunities in our community. Thus, the charter school will essentially serve as a key lever for holistic neighborhood revitalization by helping to close the opportunity gap in building a strong, economically diverse Sumter community. Our community leaders believe this will positively impact local education as a whole and also, more importantly, encourage further development throughout our community, improve the quality of life, and be a mechanism to recruit new families to Sumter while providing a world-class education system for those that already call Sumter home. The founding committee is deeply intrigued with the East Lake model in Georgia, focusing on the academic achievement and growth at Charles R. Drew Charter School. Charter schools like Drew, with a clear purpose, have shown positive and profound effects on the community while improving the quality of life and education opportunities for its residents. 2026-27 Certified Teachers - Special Education (LD, MC), Elementary, CATE, & Middle Level Applicants must hold a Valid SC Educator License We believe in the fierce urgency of now.
