ACE Charter Schools – Why Work For Us?
Our Origin Story
The ACE Public School Network was started by a group of community organizers and parent leaders from the organization PACT (People Acting in Community Together). PACT had started an organizing movement in East San Jose around quality public schools that eventually led to the opening of several small District schools where principals and families were given the power to design their own schools from the ground up.
However, political considerations threatened the success of those schools, and Greg Lippman, along with Susan Hammer (former mayor of San Jose), founded ACE Charter Schools to build on the community movement that the first ACE had started, and to create charter schools specifically designed for the most marginalized students and families in San Jose.
In 2008, the first ACE school opened with 95 5th and 6th graders. In 2017, the first class of ACE high school alumni headed off to college.
ACE Charter Schools has grown by leaps and bounds since opening in 2008, and now numbers four schools (three middle schools and one high school) with over 1,200 students and over 100 alumni in college.
Realize the ACE mission.
Our teachers, leaders and staff are wholeheartedly committed to the ACE mission: to serve the most marginalized students and families and support them on the path to college.
"If you want to obtain that "rewarding" feeling of being a teacher, work here!" - ACE Teacher

Pros
I enjoy serving my community and going out in the community to recruit students to get them on the path to college. Working with families is a plus, organizing family events, coffee with the principal, and other opportunities for parents to be engaged in their student's education.
There is a lot of support from the school leaders and Director of Communications and Engagement. Every day we are learning and growing!Cons
No cons at the moment!

I applied online. The process took 4+ weeks. I interviewed at ACE Charter Schools (San Jose, CA) in May 2015.
Interview
The interview process was with management from different departments. The first round was with the hiring management from finance on the phone. Next step was face to face. The final interview process was with two different directors from different departments.
Interview Questions
- The resume tells me what you've done, but could you please tell me your career story and how you came to be where you are now? Answer Question
- How would you handle conflicts among employees? Answer Question
- What is your career goal? Answer Question
Negotiation
The offer was given and there is room for negotiation. I suggest in any offer, to look at the entire benefit package (vacation, medical coverage, insurances, etc).
