The Neighborhood Charter School (NCS) was conceived and planned by a group of concerned parents, community members, and educators that believe in public education and are confident that a well-designed and well-managed charter school will allow children from diverse communities such as ours to flourish. NCS is unique in that we:
* Base our curricula on a "constructivist" educational philosophy. Constructivism honors children by acknowledging that they learn best by interacting with materials and people rather than through the passive transfer of information from books or teachers.
* Involve the entire community in the education of our children. More than just parents matter; our school is the responsibility of all community members and all interested members will be welcome participants in the education process.
Qualifications:
Successful experience as School Principal. Knowledge of and support for the Constructivist approach to education. Proven excellence in communication skills. Experience working with a Board of Directors. Knowledge of budgeting and financial planning. A visionary, problem solver and community advocate.
