SY 2026-2027 Algebra II Teacher (High School)

About the Role

Gestalt Community Schools (GCS) is a system of K–12 college-preparatory charter schools in targeted Tennessee communities. GCS schools provide strong academic outcomes for scholars through initiatives including meaningful community involvement. GCS catalyzes community leadership to help revitalize the neighborhood as it operates its schools in that community. Instead of debating whether education impacts the community or vice versa, GCS believes the most effective method to support student achievement is an integration of education and community (a true "gestalt").
