Community Lab School is a small 6-12 school with an instructional approach that integrates interdisciplinary, multi-age, project-based learning, and mastery grading. As a lab for educational innovation, we also exist to design and pilot nontraditional teaching strategies that contribute to the goals of ACPS and influence educational practices more broadly, often in collaboration with research partners. We are an IB World School offering the Diploma Programme in grades 11-12. Applicants should be open to a dynamic, collaborative, teacher-driven school where teachers have the freedom to design novel curricular and instructional models with support from administrators. The successful candidate will have a strong philosophical commitment to progressive education philosophies, have a bias toward action, be a self-directed learner, and have the disposition to thrive in a culture of creative invention and perpetual change. This role offers the chance to be at the forefront of educational innovation, contributing directly to both student growth and the evolution of schooling.
