Join Our Team
Brooklyn Urban Garden Charter School (BUGS), is a small, independent, progressive Middle School in South Slope/Windsor Terrace serving approximately 300 students of all abilities and backgrounds from across Brooklyn. We are looking for experienced educators interested in our innovative sustainability-education model to join us for the upcoming school year.
BUGS is at the forefront of sustainability education, diverse-by-design, and community-based school movements. We feature a hands-on interdisciplinary education with a focus on real-world problem-solving and exploration of environmental, social, and economic sustainability. Our Middle School students (grades 6 to 8) are prepared for success in high school and to become critical thinkers, lifelong learners, and thoughtful designers of a more socially just and sustainable world.
We are excited to welcome talented educators who are inspired by our mission, passionate about serving middle school-aged adolescents, and eager to join a dynamic professional learning community.
At BUGS, we value and respect teachers as educators, professionals, and individuals. As a growing faculty and community, we offer many opportunities for innovation, professional growth, and teacher leadership. We feature a strong, supportive community of learners, an active parent-teacher organization, and a positive student and staff culture. Educators are supported in using a project-based methodology and designing ongoing fieldwork to enrich the units of study. View available Instructional & non-Instructional positions below.
