The work environment is extremely toxic. You are unsupported, undervalued, and constantly stressed. A healthy and supportive environment is essential for any educator to succeed and you will not find that here. You are  frequently micromanaged, held to inconsistent expectations, and your professional judgment and expertise are not trusted or valued. Communication is critical rather than constructive.  One of the most challenging aspects is the perception that professional performance and effectiveness are not  the primary factors in how staff are treated or supported. It seems that relationships with administration carries more weight than demonstrated teaching ability, dedication, or contributions to students. This is a workplace culture where favoritism appears  to influence opportunities, feedback, and overall treatment of staff, which negatively impacts morale and trust within the school community. Educators deserve to work in a setting where they are treated with respect, supported professionally, and evaluated fairly and consistently and this does unfortunately does not happen here. 

This was, without question, the most poorly managed organization I have worked for. Leadership demonstrated a concerning lack of accountability and transparency regarding the allocation of school resources and budgeting. Additionally, the organization consistently tolerated underperformance and failed to uphold professional standards, allowing individuals who were not adequately qualified or effective in their roles to remain in positions where they negatively impacted the work environment and overall mission. The workplace culture reflected underlying biases and favoritism that negatively impacted fairness, communication, and professional opportunities for staff. Additionally, there was a consistent expectation for employees to take on significantly increased responsibilities and workloads without appropriate recognition, support, or compensation.

If this is your first job as a teacher and have no prior experience teaching ever, then this job would be okay. If you were a teacher before, this job is a huge difference to what you expect. The job hours are LONG. We get no real breaks- there are meetings or tutoring times during our lunch breaks . During our regular scheduled breaks we are in more meetings and data planning and curriculum development , etc, etc, etc. It never ends. You are expected to stay after work and continue working and if you go home you are frowned upon. Everyone is trying to be better than the other person and no one helps. You are constantly being watched and observed when teaching or otherwise and judged heavily on how you teach. You have no real freedoms in how you teach it must be a very authoritarian method. The administration tries to build a team community but the expectations and stress turn the community sour. I had a very hard time working here.

This is a horrible work environment. This is a wonderful environment for students because teachers HAVE to have a love for them that outweighs the desire to escape the truly and horrifically sloppy administration. Long hours without properly adjusted pay paired with a blatant disregard for the passion and drive of teachers/ employees makes for a ruthlessly toxic atmosphere. Hard work and commitment take a backseat to nepotism and favoritism. 
This is evident in the mass exodus that occurred after the 20-21 school year, in which approximately half of the teachers and staff decided to take their passion and talent elsewhere. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The joy seen in the students as they experienced music, dance, and theatre!

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Classroom management. I was alone with 20+ K or 1 students at a time. There were a lot of behavior issues and not enough support.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Welcoming but they are still figuring things out.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Mondays and Fridays, seven periods teaching, one prep. Four first grade classes and two kindergarten classes.

I had a pretty good experience overall. I think like any place it has its politics and its issues. The admin is supportive if you need something. The kids are pretty well behaved. Staff is supportive and friendly as well. I think as far as working in a school is concerned its a pretty sweet gig. I think had I been a certified teacher there I would have found my lane, but I got moved around a bit since I was a sub. Anyways I'm grateful for the opportunities they did give me, but ultimately just wanted to leave education as I feel my personality is better suited to social services. 

If you have no life, then this might be the place for you. This school environment is extremely stressful for all job titles. You have meetings during your lunch, you stay till late all the time, and you have a uniform to wear as if the adults are kids. There’s no respect for anyone under admin & no room for growth. Oh! And don’t even think about giving your opinion because you will get shut down. My first year I was sick constantly, please do not apply unless you are desperate.

The culture at the school can be toxic.  There are too many cliques and nepotism at the school.  Independent thinking is not embraced and SOME leadership is non-existent when it comes to mentoring.  If this is your first job, you can definitely learn but for growth as an experienced teacher, you will need a different school setting.  They will ask you to step up and volunteer to do the most and you will not be appreciated for it.

A typical day work at new world prep would be great until the President/CEO of the school had a slip up and made a vicious, damaging, irreparable, derogatory remark toward me. After that slip up, it was very uncomfortable looking at each other knowing what had happened. So, I had to find a new place of employment. The most enjoyable part of the job was making a difference in the life of the students. The hardest part of the job was dealing with nonsense accusations and undesirable remarks.
