Are you looking to make a BIG impact? At Zeta, we pursue an unprecedented combination of high academic achievement and social-emotional development for our students. We insist that every student receives a world-class education while fostering a love for learning. We are passionate about changing the landscape of public education in New York City and beyond, and we are uncompromising in our mission.

Currently, we operate multiple elementary and middle schools in the Bronx and Upper Manhattan, and are opening three new elementary schools in Queens for the 2025-26 school year. We plan to grow and open 1-2 schools each year because children in every community deserve excellent, equitable education. Join our growing team today, and be a change agent for children.

Deliver powerful results

To achieve our vision, we are searching for Entry Level "Resident Teachers" with a Bachelor's Degree, a minimum undergraduate cumulative GPA of 3.0, and a desire for growth in a feedback-driven, supportive environment.

The Zeta Teacher Residency Program is a 3-year program for new teachers. As a Resident Teacher, you will assist in building a classroom culture that fosters students' genuine love for learning and creates a sense of community for families. If you are not on a pathway to certification already, Zeta provides a 2-year, fully subsidized certification and Master's degree program with a 3-year Zeta commitment.

You will gain the knowledge and skills needed to elevate your teaching practice, and be on track to receive New York State professional certification in general and special education (a requirement of the role).

• We are hungry and determined to not only meet our goals, but surpass them
• We are humble, willing to put the team's needs ahead of our own, and committed to contributing to a collaborative work environment
