About Us:

Allegro Charter School of Music is a public charter school sponsored by the Charleston County School District located at 4542 Simms Street in North Charleston. We will serve students in grades 6-12 for the 2024-2025 school year.

The school's mission is to produce inspired thinkers and creative members of society through the infusion of music into an academically challenging environment. The mission and vision of Allegro are aligned with the purpose of the SC Charter School Act to "create new, innovative, and more flexible ways of educating children within the public school system, with the goal of closing the achievement gaps between low-performing student groups and high performing student groups."

Allegro offers a diverse educational community for all those who live in Charleston County, South Carolina.

Allegro seeks creative-minded individuals willing to work in a team setting to ensure a successful education environment for students. The ideal candidate would be adaptive, flexible, energetic, positive, resilient, and hard-working.

At Allegro, seldom will two days look the same, and it is not uncommon for your duties to see minor changes at times. As a result, we are always seeking candidates that can pitch in and go the extra mile. Your daily teaching experiences will involve differentiating to meet the needs of the variety of learning levels present in your classes. Allegro is a 1:1 school, and experience with classroom technology and a willingness to innovate is crucial. A love of music is paramount, as it pervades every aspect of our curriculum. Strong classroom management skills and the ability to establish clear routines are necessary to ensure our school maintains a high-quality educational environment.

We are a small school that spends time with one another in and out of the building, so friendly, outgoing people who enjoy collaborating tend to thrive in our school culture.

While classroom experience is not required, it is strongly preferred.
