Opportunity:

This is a unique opportunity to join the work of four high-performing schools that do whatever it takes to prepare students for college success and a life of leadership. In 2012, Capstone Education Group (CEG), and its elementary school, Cornerstone Prep, joined the Achievement School District (ASD), a program created to transform Priority Schools in the state of Tennessee. Since 2012, CEG has successfully launched two elementary schools and one middle school, and is launching a 4th school in August 2022, has set ASD records for math achievement and 3 consecutive years of TVAAS 5 growth, has earned priority school exit status by turning around the lowest performing school in the state and has scored in the 90th percentile in growth for 3 years in a row on a nationally recognized test.

Lester Prep, a middle school located in Binghampton, is looking for core subject teachers in grades 6-8 for the 2022-23 school year. This is a unique offering for middle school students in our city.

• An honors track to challenge scholars and prepare them for college

The school will also include some exciting things for educators, including:

We believe this will be an exciting opportunity for scholars and educators. The school is centrally located in our city at 320 Carpenter St. Memphis, Tn 38112
