Equality Charter School, founded in 2009, is building on its success in grades 6-12 and the launch of Equality Charter Elementary School (ECES) in 2024-25. This year, ECES welcomed scholars in kindergarten and first grade, and in 2025-26, we will add another grade, enrolling scholars in grades K-2. ECES will continue to expand annually, ultimately serving students through grade 5 and establishing Equality Charter School as a continuous K-12 educational experience.
Equality Charter Elementary School is thrilled to continue the search for founding ECES teachers! We are seeking a "can-do," "roll-up-your-sleeves," “above-and-beyond-is-the-norm” team player to take on the exciting role of founding Science Specialty Teacher.
