Our mission is to provide all students with the academic and personal skills they need to succeed after graduation and pursue their dreams.

The Opportunity
As an Assistant Principal of School Services (APSS) at Mastery Schools, you will ensure the high-quality delivery of comprehensive academic and emotional services for students who require additional support. Working closely with school leadership and instructional staff, you will manage and coordinate all specialized services, including special education, 504 plans, academic and social-emotional interventions, and English language development.
With an unwavering commitment to individualized excellence, you will foster an educational environment where all students are empowered to excel academically and emotionally. Your impact will not merely be measured in plans and interventions but in the tangible success of students reaching their fullest potential. You will lead a talented team of teachers and specialized services support staff, providing guidance to enhance their effectiveness and professional growth. If you are ready to make a meaningful impact on education and be a driving force behind academic excellence, we invite you to join us in shaping the future of our students.
Why You Should Apply
Studies have shown that women and people of color are less likely to apply for jobs unless they believe they can perform every job description task. We are most interested in finding the best candidate for the job, and that candidate may come from a less traditional background. Mastery may consider an equivalent combination of knowledge, skills, education, and experience to meet minimum qualifications. If you are interested in applying, we encourage you to think broadly about your background and skill set for the role.
