About Mastery Schools
Founded in 2001, Mastery Schools is a public charter network of 23 K-12 schools in Philadelphia and Camden, serving more than 14,000 students. Our mission is to provide all students with the academic and personal skills they need to succeed after graduation and pursue their dreams. Student achievement is not just a goal for our organization; it is the reason we exist.
We are committed to pursuing equity, actively disrupting systemic racism, and addressing the disparities that limit our students' choices. Our culture is built on respect, service, and the belief that the success of our students, their families, and the communities we serve will help us achieve our mission. We foster a positive, open, and inclusive environment where honesty, humor, and continuous improvement are celebrated. Together, we are creating a model urban school district that serves all students with excellence.
The Opportunity
As an Assistant Principal of School Services (APSS), 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 provide guidance and support to enhance the effectiveness and professional growth of a talented team of teachers and specialized services support staff. 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.
