Who We Are
Meeting Street Schools (MSS), a unique network of five schools across South Carolina, was founded in 2008 on the belief that all students can achieve at high levels and deserve the opportunity to receive a high-quality education, regardless of their socio-economic background. It is our belief that a student’s zip code should not determine a student’s access to quality educational opportunities. At Meeting Street Schools, we believe in a holistic approach to student development and work to provide the experience and resources that facilitate student success in the classroom and beyond. To provide this, we make a twenty-year commitment to students and families, from early childhood education to college access support and scholarships.
Who We're Looking For
We are searching for people who strongly align with our mission and believe all students — regardless of life circumstances– can and will succeed. We seek people who have the motivation, drive, compassion, and commitment to ensure that all students reach their full potential. We hold ourselves to high standards and embrace accountability in our pursuit of outcomes that change the lives of students. High-performing people who desire to join us in our mission to change the status quo of education in South Carolina and prove that higher learning is not only possible but expected are encouraged to apply.

MSS teachers combine the ability to motivate and educate, to develop academic as well as character skills, and to make a college preparatory education relevant both now and for the future. MSS teachers have a growth mindset and are afforded multiple professional development opportunities throughout the year, including Responsive Classroom training, Eureka Math, Wit and Wisdom, Wilson’s Fundations, collaborative planning sessions, whole and small group school-wide focus professional development, team analysis of performance data and other personalized opportunities for teachers to grow.
In most cases, Early Childhood and Elementary teachers are paired with a co-teacher or fellow teacher. Co-teachers act as co-leads and fellow teachers are newer to the profession and will be mentored by the Lead teacher.
Teachers are the center of our schools; they are the ones creating new opportunities for students and altering the trajectory of their lives. Improving teacher compensation is a core focus of Meeting Street Schools, and that's why we're thrilled to share an increase in teacher pay for the 2024-25 school year, starting at $55,000 (Bachelor's + 0 years) for our Charleston-area campuses. We're proud to provide a thoughtful and comprehensive package that goes beyond compensating educators solely based on years of experience. Our goal is to continue to be
more visionary than the traditional model.
Additionally, Meeting Street Schools offers a comprehensive
benefits package including and not limited to:
Health Insurance
Dental Insurance
Vision Insurance
Pet Insurance
Life Insurance and Disability
Employee + Family Wellness
Tax Favored Spending Accounts (FSA/HSA)
Retirement Plans
Referral and Retention Bonuses
All new hires are eligible for additional awards and opportunities.
At Meeting Street Schools we are committed to building a talented team that reflects the diverse backgrounds and experiences of our students. As an equal opportunity employer, we hire without consideration to race, religion, creed, color, national origin, age, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, veteran status, or disability.
