Challenge is Just Another Word for Opportunity

Challenge is Just Another Word for Opportunity

Do you see challenge as an opportunity for growth? So do we. Our faculty and staff are encouraged to collaborate, reflect and challenge one another on a regular basis. Sure, sometimes these conversations can cause friction - but these open and honest exchanges help us to become out-of-the-box thinkers, and stimulate new and innovative ideas in education.

Rock Stars over Robots

If you just laughed at this title then you're definitely in the right place. We love people who laugh, but we've got a serious side too. We're serious about hiring the best people - rock stars. And we're also serious about passing over those who associate work with just going through the motions - robots.

In the spirit of the Turing Test, we have created a short quiz to help you see if we're the best fit for your future (or you're a robot).

 

If you answered YES to most of these questions then you ARE the rock star we're looking for!
