Assistant Principal

Assistant Principal

Job Description


Beta is a Title I Schoolwide campus. I understand that all or part of this job could be funded with federal funds. I also understand that the base salary includes a $10,000 stipend which is to cover all Parent and Family Engagement activities.


At Beta, we believe building world-class schools starts with offering a world-class education. That begins with academics. No matter your role, whether in operations, culture, or instruction, your first charge as a leader is to know where our scholars are academically and to own their success. Academic achievement comes first. Character development is a close second. Both are non-negotiable and require every leader to act as a team player. This may include planning and teaching after-school tutorials, pulling small groups, covering classes, or coordinating Saturday school. We move the academic dial together with urgency and excellence.

Mission


The mission of the Beta Academy Assistant Principal is to lead their team to establish a world-class school through a culture of joyful rigor and develop scholars and leaders who can contribute on a community, national, and international level.
