James Baldwin Accepting Résumés for Payroll/Pupil Personnel Secretary

Founded in 2005, the James Baldwin School is a blended environment, accepting both incoming 9th graders and students who have spent at least one semester at another school who identify our community as a better fit. With small class sizes, individualized postsecondary counseling, and advisory groups that meet three times per week, the James Baldwin School creates a nurturing environment that focuses on the development of the whole person - their strengths, their hopes, interests, curiosity, and their areas for growth. 

Operating from a Transformative Justice lens, JBS aims to disrupt systemic racial inequities in education by creating restorative, humanizing, justice-seeking teaching and experiences. It is an inclusive community, where staff and students are welcome as their fullest selves to inhabit all of their intersectionalities. All staff are invited to participate in Fairness and are expected to guide students in living the core values: Respect for Humanity, Diversity, Intellect, and Truth and Commitment to Peace, Justice, and Democracy. 

 As a NYC Outward Bound school, JBS implements the nationally recognized EL Education model, featuring rigorous learning experiences and hands-on learning with real-world applications. Leadership, active citizenship, and character development go hand-in-hand with academic rigor and challenge.

JBS has a literacy-based culture that focuses on extensive reading, writing, and discussion across content areas. As a member of the Consortium, assessment tasks grow out of the work of the classroom and are not imposed on curriculum. Rather than complete Regents exams at the conclusion of every course, teachers and students design and work on performance based assessment tasks (PBATs) tasks that are completed only after students and teachers have studied the material, discussed and debated it, and subjected it to their questions and writing.
