Essence Preparatory Public School is a tuition-free public school on the Eastside of San Antonio that provides pre-k through 6th grade students the resources, support, and care for students to work hard, and create the future.
Essence Prep provides our scholars with a well-rounded experience by partnering with a variety of community organizations including: SA Ballet School, Gardopia Gardens, Pre-K4SA, BiblioTech, and UHS.
We make sure students and families see themselves, their culture, and backgrounds reflected in our staff.
Through rigorous academics, intentional character development, and cultivating student knowledge of self, we RISE.
Our student services include free transportation, free meals, a community Bibliotech, and a University Health System school-based health clinic.
We are looking for caring teachers who bring subject matter expertise and unwavering commitment to set each student on a path to success and shape the future leaders of tomorrow. We intentionally look to hire staff that have roots in the community in which they teach.
All students deserve a transformative, high-quality school in the neighborhood in which they live. There is a need for a high-performing school with a proven track-record of success with students who live and will ultimately improve the community.
