Mission of NCS

Our mission is to provide NCS children with new educational opportunities through a rigorous and comprehensive K-8 program that cultivates the intellectual, social, and emotional development of each child. Our students, who will include autistic scholars and students with IEPs, will become independent learners and critical thinkers, acquire the academic skills that they need to succeed in college preparatory high schools, and exhibit the social and emotional skills that will allow them to reach their full potential.

You will join a collaborative team of educators who share a deep belief in the potential of every child and a commitment to inclusion, academic rigor, and joyful learning.

The maternity leave teacher will maintain classroom routines, deliver engaging instruction, and ensure continuity of services so scholars continue making progress while their lead teacher is away.

Key Responsibilities
