City Schools teachers are part of a community working together every day to give students the opportunities they deserve—in school and in life. When you teach in Baltimore, you’ll:
- Join an extraordinary team that goes beyond the basics for our students. You’ll be part of a team committed to supporting, challenging, and inspiring our students and each other. Because we know that success is about more than just test scores, we focus on our students as people, each with their own unique experiences and passions. By working with families, community partners, and support staff, our teachers provide engaging, supportive environments that help students reach their potential.
"All of the students in all of our schools deserve all that a high-quality education makes possible—talents that are discovered, doors that open, and lives that change."
- Lead the fight for equity from your classroom. We believe education is equity work. By combining culturally-responsive instruction with a challenging, engaging curriculum, you’ll put every student on a path toward the future that calls them. But our commitment to equity doesn’t stop with academics: our teacher workforce is one of the most diverse in the nation, and we were one of the first school districts to adopt a systemwide racial equity policy.
- Grow your skills with research-backed teaching strategies. Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been in the classroom for decades, you’ll have opportunities to learn and grow. We focus on connecting lessons from the latest research to the unique needs of our community—so that you can customize strategies that help every student succeed in your classroom.
- Jump-start your career with one of the best salary and benefits packages in the country. Our teachers can earn more than $90,000 after just a few years in the classroom, along with tuition reimbursement and a comprehensive benefits package. And because a fulfilling career is about more than just salary, we offer four career pathways that ensure you’ll always have new opportunities to grow as a teacher and a leader.
- Live in a vibrant, affordable city with quick access to D.C., New York, and Boston. From weird museums and legal graffiti art spots, to cobblestone streets and neighborhoods that truly feel like communities, Baltimore is a city like no other. But what makes the city truly unique is its people: once a Baltimorean, always a Baltimorean.
