If you are relentless about seeing students achieve at high levels, this is a chance to work at a network that does whatever it takes to ensure success for all children.
Background:
New Orleans College Prep's (NOCP) mission is to prepare students with academic and life skills for success in college, career, and beyond. Over the past ten years, NOCP has grown from a single grade of 100 students, to now operating 3 schools spanning Birth (6 weeks) to 12th grade and serving over 1,400 students.
In June 2017, NOCP expanded its existing early learning program at John W. Hoffman to establish a large, world-class early learning center that meets the needs of a growing, socioeconomically diverse population in New Orleans. The early learning center will serve approximately 228 children aged 0 - 4 and offer an unparalleled array of enriching, experiential learning experiences for children. 50% of the seats are funded through Head Start, offered only to low income children, and 50% of the seats are tuition-based, offered on a sliding scale of tuition rates based on family income. A coalition of charter school organizations contribute to the operating costs of the center, in return for offering preferential access to employees of their schools, which all supports staff retention in our K-12 public schools. With this unique model, we are creating a preschool that is truly accessible to all families, regardless of income, and expand early childhood capacity in our city.
