About Leaders In Our Neighborhood Charter School:

Leaders In Our Neighborhood Charter School’s mission is to develop the character of each student. We unite students, families, and staff in helping each individual achieve their best academically, and in sports, the arts, and service to the community. We believe that passion for learning, self-discovery, leadership, and social conscience are the foundation for success in college and fulfillment in life.

We believe that all children, regardless of their neighborhood, race, or income, are gifted with special talents to offer the world, and that school is a place for students to develop the skills and mindsets needed to become their best selves. Furthermore, we assert that human beings are more complex than annual data points, and that the fulfillment of a person’s life correlates not simply to test scores, but even more so to their relationships with others and the content of their character. With our family partnership and character approach model, we focus on helping students develop their character and the skills they need for life through rigorous academics, self-discovery, and family involvement

Essential Responsibilities:

  • Teach courses in English literature, core writing skills, and Pre-AP/ AP curriculum
  • Prepare students for high-stakes tests, including the Regents
  • Ensure high academic standards are set for and met by all students
  • Collaborate with other teachers to provide rigorous, standards-based learning to students
