Description

Uncommon Schools is a nonprofit network of high-performing, public charter schools providing an outstanding K-12 education in historically under-resourced communities.

We have proudly built schools that reflect our student population, with more than 60% of our teachers and staff across our network identifying as a person of color.

Uncommon currently manages 53 schools serving more than 20,000 students in five cities:

We are proud that Uncommon graduates persist in and graduate from college at five times the rate of their peers nationally.

We achieve this by offering strong academic, co-curricular, and social-emotional learning that prepares students for success in college and beyond.

Camden Prep currently manages four schools serving students in grade K through 10 (growing to grade 12).

We believe in strong authentic relationships between teachers and students, supported by effective school systems and an engaging instructional model that enables students to flourish academically and personally.

Camden Prep is consistently the highest performing of all district or Renaissance schools in Camden, NJ.
Uncommon High School History teachers work in department teams to push students towards being self-guided learners.

Our teachers become experts in their course content and have a keen sense of how to motivate and inspire high school students.

History classes aim to empower students' voices and develop them into global citizens by emphasizing textual analysis, analytical writing, and discourse.

At the conclusion of high school, students are prepared for academic autonomy and college preparatory work.

You'll teach a curriculum that prioritizes analysis of World, US History, American Government, and Economics in preparation for Advanced Placement (AP) and collegiate level coursework.

You'll guide students to understand the author's claim and the power of sourcing while developing the skills of argumentation, corroboration, inquiry, and historiography through primary and secondary source analysis.

You'll work with the History department to determine academic and engagement goals for students.
