Are you passionate about public school reform? If so, we invite you to consider being a part of New West Charter School. New West Charter School is an independent charter school serving grades 6-12 as part of the California Public School system.

Teachers will enjoy small school and class size, freedom to tailor your curriculum to suit your teaching style and needs, an energized teaching faculty, top-performing students, strong parent involvement and a supportive community.
New West is seeking a team-oriented, dedicated, student centered teacher looking to grow as an educator and mentor middle school students. Candidates should be willing to work past the school day and go the extra mile to support all students. Those applying should have at least 2-5 years of experience in the high school setting using a variety of teaching strategies to help reach all students. Charter school experience is always a plus.
Middle school ELA teachers are expected to implement a rigorous student-centered curriculum and facilitate learning through strong classroom lessons.

They must also examine and report student learning and progress through regular assessments.
