About the Company

Coney Island Prep Lower Elementary School blends joy, rigor, and high expectations to ensure our 320 scholars in K-2 are ready to succeed.
With two teachers in every classroom, smaller teacher to student ratios help accelerate learning and allow for tailored instruction for each scholar.
We leverage a research-backed approach to teach the science of reading and focus heavily on phonics instruction, word recognition, vocabulary, background knowledge and comprehension skills, to cultivate our young learners’ strong reading abilities from the moment they step into our building.
Coney Island Prep is committed to building a team that collectively reflects the various backgrounds, experiences, and identities of our scholars.
We recognize and respond to different points of access, so that everyone maximizes their highest potential.
We also recognize that because of institutionalized racism and systemic oppression, historically marginalized groups are at a disadvantage when it comes to most application and hiring processes.
We want to ensure that all candidates, regardless of their identity, are able to demonstrate their qualifications and are not limited by a lack of opportunity or access.
We are committed to creating a space where everyone’s identity is acknowledged, respected, and welcomed.
We are intentional about creating an environment where people feel comfortable being their authentic selves at work by constantly examining our organization culture and challenging our traditions.

Coney Island Preparatory Public Charter School is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, age, sex, sexual orientation, marital or familial status, national origin, citizenship or disability.
