We educate with high-quality learning opportunities, build self-discipline through a structured, positive environment, and inspire our cadets through professional, mentoring relationships. The focus is always on the cadet: preparing them for their future—a journey of excellence in their chosen fields as well as genuine service back to their neighborhoods and beyond.

6th grade teacher math/science
I am a 6th grade teacher at a leadership magnet school. I am finishing up my 4th year as a teacher. I have mostly taught just math and science but one thing that I stand out for is creating videos of math content for the students (and caregivers) so that they are able to review as many times as necessary to understand the comment. I use a "flipped learning" model where these videos are used as instruction at home and when the students come in the next day the feedback allows me to see which students I need to help and what students I can group together for practice or tutoring.
