Job Description
About Prep

Boston Prep is a college-preparatory charter public district, made up of a single-site middle and high school. In 2026-2027, our community will include 700 students in grades 6-12, nearly 500 alumni, over 150 faculty members, and hundreds of families. The majority of our students and families reside in Dorchester, Roxbury, Mattapan, and Hyde Park. As a charter public school, we welcome all students via an impartial public lottery, and hold the same high expectations and ambitions for all of our students, including those with special needs and English language learners.

Mission
At Boston Prep, our mission is to prepare students to succeed in a four-year college and embody, in thought and action, lifelong ethical growth. We foster an environment structured around accelerating academic growth, as demonstrated by our extended school day and school year. We believe that to do this work effectively, relationships are the heart of our community and an understanding of anti‑racism is critical in serving our community effectively.

Our Core Beliefs

We have an exceptional adult team; we are One Team.

We hold high expectations for all students.

We foster ethical growth, inside and outside of the classroom.

We have an invested, passionate student culture, balanced by structure and joy.

We offer a range of support—academic, social, and emotional—to all students.

We ensure college persistence through a number of student and alumni support.

Values
Our mission guides Boston Prep and our values guide how we work together as a One Team. Our values hold us accountable to ourselves, to one another, to our students, and to our families. They remind us of how we strive to do the work of our achieving mission together, united as a One Team.

We are mission driven.

Everyone is here for the same reasons.

Organizational changes are required to achieve the mission.

We believe all of us, in every step of our journey, have room to improve.

Staff actions drive student results.

Ideal Candidate
We believe that every teacher has the power to make a difference in the lives of our students. We are committed to creating a culture of inclusion and belonging where all students feel seen, heard, and valued. As a teacher with us, you will have the opportunity to inspire and empower the next generation, while also making a meaningful impact on your own career. You embody the mindset that “kids do well if we believe they can”.

We recognize that representation matters, and we strive to ensure that our students see themselves reflected in their teachers and leaders. A team of diverse leaders and teaching staff enhances our students' educational experience and fosters a deeper sense of belonging.

We provide ongoing professional development, coaching, and a supportive work environment where your contributions are valued and recognized.
