Job Description

About Our School

Vertex Partnership Academies seeks to develop virtuous high school graduates who have acquired the habits, knowledge and sense of personal agency necessary to lead self-determined, purposeful lives of American and global citizenship. Our vision is to develop internationally-minded, tenacious learners guided by the four cardinal virtues of Courage, Justice, Temperance, and Wisdom. The founding campus opened in the Bronx in 2022 with only 9th graders and is serving the 9th -10th graders in the 2023-24 school year, expanding to 11th grade in 2024-25. Vertex will empower each student scholar to choose either : (1) the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program that prepares them to enroll and thrive in premier colleges and universities in the country or abroad; or (2) the International Baccalaureate Careers Program that prepares them to graduate with a professional credential and directly enter the labor market with skills in a variety of high-demand areas. Vertex uses the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Program in grades 9 and 10 to prepare students for the Diploma and Career Programs in the 11th and 12th grade.

Vertex Partnership Academies is a Candidate School
