At Uncommon Schools, candidates can consider multiple schools within one network at any given time. That said, candidates cannot consider schools across networks. This is done to make the process less cumbersome for candidates and more efficient for our schools. If you are interested in a particular school or network, please be sure to include that information on your application so our recruitment team can appropriately distribute your application! Should you have any questions, feel free to contact us at teach@uncommonschools.org.
