A tuition-free public charter school, we were founded in 2016 on our "relationships first" philosophy: making sure that we know, understand, hear, and support our students, families, and our professional team members. Across our four campuses, we pursue a singular mission to engage, educate and empower more than 800 PreK-high school students from the vibrant communities here in northern Manhattan and beyond.

Our collective efforts provide every child at School in the Square with a comprehensive, supportive school program and community that extends beyond academics to include healthy student meal choices; before and after school programs; technology, arts and athletics; a focus on Spanish language and cultural exploration; participation and leadership in civic engagement; counseling and other social-emotional services; resources and supports for families including community partnership connections, a monthly food pantry, and more.

We invite you to be a part of a 160+ team whose mission-aligned culture offers sustainable, rewarding career paths in teaching, operations, and leadership, built on relationships-first collaboration and mutual support. Experience the difference at a workplace that celebrates and cultivates each team member’s passions, skills and multi-disciplinary interests as we build a brighter future together, one student at a time.
