Charter Schools USA (CSUSA) is one of the largest and highest performing education management organizations in the United States, serving more than 82,000 scholars across 150 schools in four states. Since 1997, we have pursued a Relentless Commitment to Scholar Greatness in school and in life.

We prepare scholars to seek truth, practice virtue, and lead lives of purpose. We believe in Strong Minds, Good Hearts.™

As a Classical Logic Faculty Scholar, you guide scholars through the art of reasoning, helping them discern truth through structured thought, sound argumentation, and clear expression.
