Teaching at Williamsburg Charter School:
The Williamsburg Charter High School unites youth, families, staff, teachers, and the community at large in providing young people with the tools necessary to make sense of the world, preparing them in their journey to become skilled workers and literate citizens of the world community.
Young people will accomplish this through their participation in a rigorous and demanding liberal arts education that includes language, literature, writing, science, history, mathematics, the arts, technology, and explorations in disciplines designed to teach fairness, justice, respect, and compassion for themselves and others as well as the skills of critical thinking, communication, and research.
 
 
Our Program
Williamsburg Charter High School (WCHS) is a high-performing, public charter high school located in Brooklyn, New York. WCHS opened in August 2004 as the first Chancellor-authorized charter high school in the City of New York with a ninth-grade class of 131 students. WCHS has grown to serve a little fewer than 1,000 students ranging from grades nine through twelve.
Our educational program enables every student to graduate well-prepared for college and the world beyond it. Most importantly, all WCHS students mature intellectually, socially, and morally as a result of being active members of a school community that endorses high expectations that challenge each student to achieve his/her full potential.
To fulfill its mission, WCHS is looking for exceptional teachers. Our teachers play critical roles in realizing the core mission, philosophy, and unique youth-centered approach of the school's educational design.
