Position Title: 2024-2025 Middle School Teacher Pool

Position Date: November 18, 2024

Closing Date: Until Position(s) are filled

Company Overview

Friendship Education Foundation was established in 2014 as a 501(c)3 non-profit Charter Management Organization (CMO). FEF was created to replicate and expand the Friendship school design nationally. Since then we have opened new schools and managed turnaround and takeover schools in 3 states (Maryland, Louisiana and Arkansas) and the District of Columbia. FEF differs from an EMO because we are a non-profit company.

The Friendship Education Foundation seeks to nationally replicate the educational programs and best practices that have been successfully implemented to low income and economically disadvantaged students in DC. The Friendship School Design was developed and refined over the past 17 years by Friendship Public Charter School, Inc.

Beginning with just one location in 2018, Friendship Public Charter School, Inc opened its first campus in Arkansas in the city of Pine Bluff. Now, Friendship Aspire Academy Public Charter School of Arkansas now spans over 8 schools in the cities of Pine Bluff, Little Rock, North Little Rock, and Maumelle. We currently serve a network enrollment cap of 2,600 and 135 employees. Our rigorous curriculum, exemplary instruction, resource-rich forums and total commitment to student advancement have made Friendship one of the nation's top charter systems.
