Pros
As an employee of Explore Schools for over 5 years, I can honestly say I've never worked in a more supportive, dedicated work environment. I've loved expereincing how hard work & expectations translate into significant growth in student achievement, and on a personal level, as a working mom, it's been wonderful to work for colleagues that value work/life balance.

Results for students! Explore Schools has shown significant improvement in student achievement over the past 2 years.
Amazing colleagues. One of the most frequent reasons staff members give for loving working at Explore is the people they get to work with. We have a wonderful team of staff who share a deep commitment to our mission.
Investment in development. Explore believes in providing development... opportunities and coaching to help those who work here meet their fullest potential.

Cons
The pace of work can be overwhelming at times. This is the result of an incredibly hard working team of adults who want to do everything they can to support their students. As an organization that has seen a lot of change over recent years, there is still a steep learning curve - relatively new curriculum and processes take time to fully internalize and implement. However, with increased retention and consistency in... our approach, I expect this to improve in the coming years!
