Intrinsic Schools is a public charter network committed to reimagining secondary education so that every student is prepared for postsecondary success and meaningful, world-changing endeavors. We believe deeply in the potential of our students and in the power of great teaching, strong relationships, and intentional use of technology to personalize learning.

Our model prioritizes both academic excellence and the development of essential non-cognitive skills such as empathy, independence, perseverance, and intellectual curiosity. Intrinsic serves diverse student communities across two campuses: Belmont (grades 7–12) and Downtown (grades 9–12). Our student population is 90% students of color, 86% eligible for free or reduced lunch, and 19% students with disabilities. We view this diversity as a strength and seek educators who are committed to equity, inclusion, and high expectations for all learners.

• Innovative Instructional Model (POD):
  Teachers work in collaborative POD teams to serve groups of approximately 60 students. Students rotate through teacher-led instruction, independent and personalized learning via technology, small-group work, and project-based learning, all aligned to individual learning needs.
• Opportunities & Choice (C Day):
  One day per week, students select academic supports (e.g., tutoring, study groups, office hours) and enrichment opportunities aligned to their interests, fostering ownership, agency, and engagement.
• Postsecondary Support:
  From day one, Intrinsic students receive comprehensive postsecondary planning and support, including counseling, early college credit opportunities, and financial guidance, ensuring alignment between student goals and post-graduation pathways.

The Classroom Teacher is responsible for planning and delivering rigorous, engaging instruction in a secondary learning environment that supports academic growth and personal development for all students. Teachers work under the supervision of the Principal and in close collaboration with instructional coaches, POD teammates, and support staff to continuously improve practice and outcomes for students.
