Careers at CLCS

CLCS is a non-profit organization founded to support and manage two of the Bay Area's most innovative and respected public charter schools, both located in Alameda, CA.

Community Learning Center Schools are different. More than schools, we are progressive learning communities that place the learner at the center of a democratic and project-based educational process. We go beyond state standards and curriculum with the goal of creating critical thinkers and lifelong learners.

This means that the people we hire must be different, too. More than employees, they must be collaborative inspirers and creative doers dedicated to equity in their educational practice.

CLCS manages hiring for ACLC and Nea. If you are motivated to be a part of our educational communities, please find our current job listings at edjoin.org/clcs.
