Enroll With Us

We focus on systemic growth, instead of just test scores.

Equality’s curriculum systematically reinforces incremental growth in core academic courses, while ensuring that our scholars have the personal and emotional resources needed to be successful in life after graduation.

We believe in meeting our scholars where they are and working with them to develop the tools they will need to excel, wherever their life journey may take them.

Collaboration & Community

We are a community of passionate individuals, committed to transforming education in the Bronx. We believe that hiring and keeping high-quality teachers is what makes the difference in a child’s education at Equality.

Working with us requires an open mind, a commitment to hard work, and faith in the long game. We do our best to find the right positions for everyone, where they are engaged, challenged, and successful.
