Company Overview:

Purdue Polytechnic High Schools (PPHS) is a mission-driven network of schools founded in partnership with Purdue University. Our vision is to inspire students through STEM-focused, real-world experiences, empowering them to become problem-solvers and skilled achievers who succeed in technical and STEM-related post-secondary programs and high-tech careers. At PPHS, we are committed to academic rigor and providing every student with the resources to succeed in higher education, particularly at institutions of the caliber of Purdue University. Our core values guide everything we do:

• Act as 1
• Nurture student genius
• Start from Yes
• Do the right thing
• Get it done

We aspire to create a world of equity where every student has the opportunity and access to achieve their goals and to realize their power to solve problems they encounter. We are intentional about building a culture of communication, collaboration, and innovation that creates a positive and supportive environment conducive to high academic achievement and long-term success.

We are reinventing the approach to learning at Purdue Polytechnic High School. Student academic work is driven by projects, and instruction is based solely on the individual and collective needs of students. There are no predetermined classes where students move in groups according to a master schedule. Rather, teachers work together to arrange time for student instruction based on who needs it, when they need it, and how they best receive it. 

We are most interested in finding the best person for the job, and that person may be one who comes from a less traditional background.  We encourage you to apply even if you believe you don’t meet all of the below criteria.
