The Queen City Difference

At Queen City Academy Charter School, teachers are our most treasured assets. We expect academic and character excellence from QCACS scholars, and our teachers help foster a dynamic learning environment where scholars receive the necessary preparation and support to rise to that challenge. Therefore, teacher recruitment at QCACS is a vitally important process through which we seek to attract and retain educators with a discernible passion for helping children meet their highest potential. Teachers work in a collegial setting where the faculty and administration collaborate to ensure a high quality education experience for scholars, while benefiting from supportive parent partners who are deeply committed to their children’s success.

A small K-12 school, QCACS is a place where people enter to learn and work but experience the fulfillment of a family atmosphere as they are inducted into our nurturing yet challenging environment.
