Team culture
What it feels like here
- Two hours of paid planning time every week, off the floor.
- A full floater team so breaks and lunches actually happen.
- Curriculum you build, not a script you read.
- Directors who cover classrooms when we're short.
- A staff lounge with real chairs, real coffee, and no cots.
