Belief in Every Student's Promise

Opportunity Charter School (OCS) teachers are trained in cutting-edge, research-based methodology of evaluating students’ academic strengths and challenges. To maximize each child’s personal development, an individualized education plan is created that is tailored to his or her unique needs. Students receive differentiated instruction in every curricular area with the goal of expanding their higher cognitive thinking.

Performance-Driven and Results-Oriented

Our curriculum will prepare students to take the Regents exams and transition to college or a meaningful career. Our goal is for every student to graduate having achieved a clearly demonstrated academic and social foundation, as well as a deep understanding of their own strengths and challenges. Our teachers are responsible for implementing OCS’s Common Core curriculum, and assessing students in order to appropriately meet their academic needs. We seek educators who are dedicated to improving their instructional practices by working critically and collaboratively with their colleagues.
