About Mastery:
Founded in 2001, Mastery Schools is a public charter network of 23 K-12 schools in Philadelphia and Camden, serving more than 14,000 students. At Mastery, we’re on a mission to provide all students with the academic and personal skills they need to succeed after graduation and pursue their dreams. We are committed to pursuing equity, actively disrupting systemic racism, and addressing the disparities that limit our students' choices.

Our culture is built on respect, service, and the belief that the success of our students, their families, and the communities we serve will help us achieve our mission. We foster a positive, open, and inclusive environment where honesty, humor, and continuous improvement are celebrated. Join us in creating a model urban school district that serves all students with excellence.

Together, we can make a lasting impact.

The Opportunity: At Mastery, all means all. Nearly one quarter of Mastery students have individualized education plans (IEPs) to ensure they receive appropriate, just-right educational opportunities. Mastery believes the IEP creates an opportunity for teachers, parents, school administrators, case managers, related services personnel, central office staff and students (when appropriate) to work together to improve educational results for children with disabilities.

We deliver robust research-based interventions, frequently monitor progress and make data-driven adjustments to produce the best possible outcomes for students. Our Specialized Services Programming spans from itinerant to supplemental levels of support, prioritizing time in the general education setting. We have classrooms across our network for Autism Support, Emotional Support, Life Skills and Multiple Disability Support as well as Multi-Lingual Learner Support.

We offer a range of Reading, Math and Writing interventions and professional development opportunities to support teacher growth.

Our professional development includes frequent embedded opportunities for teacher coaching, skill building and data-driven instruction meetings throughout the school year.
