Teaching at The U School is not just about delivery of content materials and curriculum, although they remain critically important, but about the exciting methods of engagement and visceral connection of students to the application of knowledge, school values, and habits of success with the purpose of building student expertise through partnerships and project-based learning.
We seek adults with the passion, audacity, and purpose to think about learning in ways that work for all users and are committed to LOVE, DREAM and DO with youth.
