Job Description YOUR OPPORTUNITY FOR IMPACT Broome Street Academy Charter High School (BSA) is seeking to hire a Head of School beginning in July 2026. BSA serves NYC students who are the most at risk and face significant barriers to graduation. By design, 50% of the seats for upcoming 9th graders are set aside for students who are homeless, in foster care, or have otherwise had experience with the child welfare system. Given the extensive needs of BSA’s students, the model – which is unique among New York City charter schools – goes above and beyond the classroom through a formalized partnership with The Door, one of the country’s premier youth development organizations. BSA is housed within The Door so that students have facilitated and consistent access to The Door’s complete range of programming on site including: reproductive and primary healthcare and education, mental health counseling and crisis assistance, legal advice and representation, tutoring and homework help, college preparation services, job training and placement, supportive housing, sports and recreational activities, arts, and nutritious meals – all for free, completely confidential, and under one roof. Broome Street Academy was born out of The Door’s 2009 strategic plan as a response to the growing needs of New York City’s at-risk youth. In February 2026, BSA’s charter was renewed and extended through July 31, 2031. Subsequent charter renewal will be contingent on high academic and post-secondary outcomes. Broome Street Academy now seeks a next generational leader, to formally solidify our current model, build deeper systems of instruction, pedagogy, and data-driven decision-making, and stand out within the educational landscape of New York City. We have laid a strong foundation in the wake of post-COVID learning loss and are executing on a multi-year plan to drive transformative outcomes for every student. We are looking for a Head of School who will continue our progress on that plan to realize the ambition of BSA’s model. ACADEMICS & LEARNING BSA’s model merges a rigorous academic curriculum with comprehensive social and learning support to prepare students for a successful future beyond high school. BSA’s academic model was designed in recognition that some of our students require extra support to reach the same academic milestones and post-secondary pathways as their peers. We intentionally maintain small class sizes and offer integrated co-teaching in most classes to provide additional academic support for students. The student-centered approach includes a continuum of academic support as well as opportunities for more rigorous learning to ensure that each student is being challenged to their full potential. By offering targeted academic intervention for students who need additional support, along with advanced coursework such as College Now, and Advanced Placement classes, students at all skill levels are being continuously challenged and thoroughly supported. Social-emotional support and learning opportunities are also incorporated into the school day and available after school. In addition to the distributive academic counseling and social-emotional lessons offered through Advisory sessions, BSA has three social workers on-staff, and strategically works to take advantage of the relationships students can make with staff in a relatively small school that emphasizes community and academics together. GOVERNANCE The Head of School will report to BSA’s CEO and Board of Trustees. The Board and CEO establish policy for BSA in accordance with its by-laws and consistent with the terms of its charter. The Board meets twelve times per year, once each month. The Head of School will be expected to attend Board meetings and most Board committee meetings as well.
