Who We Are:
*
Solare Collegiate is a game-changing public charter school in Albuquerque’s Southwest Mesa. We serve grades 5-8, with a high school and college preparatory focused academic program. Inherent to our learning model is that we confront the historic inequities in public education, and we work actively to dismantle them. Specifically, we focus on giving our scholars access to rigorous, grade level learning in all their classes, every day. Solare Collegiate does this by intentionally creating learning environments which allow our teachers to embed individualized, daily supports for skill gaps into their classes, without compromising scholar opportunities for grade level learning. We are looking for growth-focused educators who are passionate about teaching English/Language Arts and continuing to build our ELA team for the 2024-2025 school year. Candidates must share our unapologetic belief that all scholars are capable of excelling in a college preparatory learning environment, without compromising access to grade level content.
