  About Us 

  Hawken School is a preschool–12th co-ed independent day school with four campuses in Cleveland, Ohio, and founder of the Mastery Transcript Consortium, a national organization aimed at reinventing how students prepare for college, careers, and life. In August 2020, we launched the Mastery School of Hawken, a new project- and problem-based ungraded high school in the University Circle neighborhood of Cleveland. We will graduate our second class of seniors in June of 2024. 

  We’ve designed The Mastery School of Hawken around three core principles: 

  • Learning experiences are organized around real-world problem-solving, where students learn while working on challenges with community partners.
  • We use new methods of teaching designed around individual growth, allowing for more project-based and personalized learning.
  • Our mastery assessment model emphasizes feedback for growth and credits enduring, deep, and transferable learning using mastery credits. 

  Committed to strengthening our relationship to our city, we are building this school for greater socioeconomic access by offering a significant number of seats to full-need students from the city of Cleveland.
  
  

  The Team 

  You’ll join our dynamic team of educators as we enter Year 5 of the school. As you onboard and learn our methods and approaches, you’ll take increasing responsibility for program elements over your first year. You’ll also bring your unique set of strengths to all aspects of school life, in the classroom, in our Wayfinding program, and in co-curriculars. Together, we’ll create a high school that provides a new model for education. While experience working with young people is vital, classroom experience is not a necessity and career-changers are welcome!

  • Refine your instructional practice with ongoing coaching from the Korda Institute for Teaching, the Head of the Mastery School, and collaboration with peers
