Comments and Other Information

We are on a mission to transform the lives of students! Altus Schools Charter School of San Diego is a free public school option, serving students in grades 6-12 who seek an alternative learning experience to the traditional school setting. Repeatedly recognized for its quality instructional program, high-caliber teaching and strong operational performance, CSSD seeks to redefine how teachers teach and students learn. Our standards and expectations are high as we prepare our students for the future. Together—teacher, parent, and student—we can guide our students to achieving great academic success and accomplishing the goals each has identified as their own. CSSD is an educational option for students in grades 6-12. Its instructional design is based on a “University Model.” Students work independently and attend classes, labs, or tutorials 1-2 times/wk. Students come at scheduled times; no more than 20 students on site at a time. The learning environment, located in resource centers throughout the city, is professional, clean, safe and well-equipped with curriculum resources, teacher & student laptops, desktop computers, wireless networks, and high-speed T-1 Internet access in each resource center. SELECTION PROCEDURE: Selected applicants will be interviewed by a panel of School Administrators and will complete a work-styles/behavior survey. Candidates who successfully complete this phase of process will be interviewed by the Deputy Superintendent School Services and the Superintendent School Services and Founder. MORE INFO: Visit our website https://charterschool-sandiego.net/ NOTE: Applications are considered ONLY for this school, and NOT for other charter schools within SD City Schools nor schools within the county.

Resume will not be accepted in lieu of application. We apply the same process for selecting staff. Key components of the process include: paper screening, team interview, work-style behaviors survey, director/manager interview, extensive background checks and reference checks. We may call any person listed as a reference and/or any former supervisors on your application. We do not invite all applicants to interview. We do not hire everyone who applies, and we do not discuss our hiring decisions with applicants.
