Esperanza means hope. Esperanza Academy Charter School (EACS), located in the Hunting Park section of North Philadelphia, is dedicated to serving the students within its community. We believe education can be a vehicle for social and economic advancement. This core belief drives our relentless pursuit to become the best educational option for all students in the Philadelphia area.
Our strong track record of academic excellence and impact within our community makes us stand out. The Academy has 11th-grade test scores above the city of Philadelphia average and value-added math and reading proficiency growth is among the highest in Pennsylvania. Students graduate at a rate exceeding 90% and drop out at only 1%. For 9 out of 11 years, the Academy has been awarded a silver or bronze medal rating in the US News ranking of Best High Schools in the country.
In the fall of 2025, we will open a brand-new elementary school building, marking the completion of our expansion to a full K-12 program serving over 2,400 students. This growth will make Esperanza Academy one of the largest K-12 charter schools in Philadelphia, reinforcing our commitment to delivering high-quality education to even more students in our city.
We are seeking mission-driven educators with proven experience in urban education who believe in the transformative power of learning. Our ideal candidate is passionate about equipping every student for academic success and lifelong achievement. As a true community school, we seek educators who are deeply committed to building strong relationships with students, families, and local partners to create meaningful change. Be part of a team that is making a lasting impact, empowering students to achieve their full potential and transform their futures.
