Summary:

The Assessment Specialist reports directly to the Academic Operations Team Lead and works closely with the Curriculum & Instruction (C&I) team in support of our common assessment model along with a variety of departmental projects and initiatives.


Company Information:

National Heritage Academies (NHA) partners with communities to build and operate public charter schools.

A majority of our schools consistently outperform their local district on the state test.

In addition, according to our employee survey, over 90% of respondents agree that the work they do is meaningful to them. Join our team.
