The Academy for Global Citizenship is a Chicago Public Charter School, located on the underserved Southwest side of Chicago. Our innovative and holistic approach to education aims to foster systemic change and inspire the way society educates our future generations. We are producing a replicable model for learning in the 21st century, including the construction of a net-positive energy campus. AGC develops mindful leaders who take action both now and in the future to positively impact their communities and the world beyond. AGC will ignite a movement to create a better world. We will transform our educational systems by being an incubator of innovation. Using a foundation of academic knowledge and global-mindedness each student will create a life of possibility and contribute to a more peaceful and just society. In addition to being an International Baccalaureate school, we are also a Dual Language school. Biliinguality and biliteracy is celebrated. OUR TEAM is incredible! We really support each other by collaborating. We often say we are 'La familia' .
We aim to recruit, develop, and retain the most highly qualified teachers who embody the characteristics of a global citizen and actively promote the school’s mission in all that they do. We are looking for a candidate with a big heart to match a big brain, who wants their work to define best practice. The ideal candidate has respect and thrive in a dynamic, changing, and growing environment. We love working with a candidate who knows extraordinary things can happen when people work hard together. We strongly prefer a bilingual in English and Spanish.
