Exceptional Impact
Our teachers are committed to the students, families, and communities they serve. In three years, our students exceeded standards in English language arts and math at Camden Prep.
Summer PD
Every August, teachers engage in two to three weeks of training around driving culture and achievement, data-driven instruction, and building relationships with students. Our new and returning teachers bond as a staff and feel confident and ready to hit the ground running on the first day of school.

Every year, all school leaders from across Uncommon come together for a two-day retreat to step back and reflect as a network while also developing leadership expertise and effectiveness.
