Fellowship for Founding School Leaders- Atlanta
BES seeks a Fellow for our Fellowship program to serve as a founding school leader in Atlanta. This BES Fellowship offers highly motivated leaders committed to transforming education the rigorous, multi-year training needed to design, found, and lead a high-achieving school that meets the unique needs of its community.
BES welcomes applicants from the Atlanta region for new public charter schools and aligned with authorizer priorities, with particular interest in leaders aiming to found schools in the Gwinnett county area. For regions with significant charter presence, applicants will be required to make a strong case for how a new proposed charter school will be viable and meet the needs of the community.
Who We Are
Strong schools are built by strong leaders, which is why BES identifies and prepares exceptional individuals to transform education in their communities. From school founders and executive directors to operations leaders, deans, and curriculum directors, we train leaders to build schools, to ensure their schools excel, and to sustain their results over time.
The BES Fellowship and selection process fosters an equitable, inclusive, and empowering experience for Fellows. For over two decades, BES Fellows have founded over 220 schools and are currently serving more than 73,000 students, with many BES-trained leaders consistently driving student achievement beyond district and state averages and helping to close the opportunity gap.
Compensation
The BES Fellowship training year runs from January 2027 through December 2027, during which time BES Fellows will receive disbursements from their $110,000 grant. While grant disbursements will end in December 2027 (or typically 12 months after beginning the Fellowship), the authorization process in certain regions can sometimes extend beyond that time. Note that the beginning and end date for the Atlanta Fellowship will depend on the local counties’ authorization timeline AND a candidate’s readiness.
BES Fellows will continue to receive coaching and guidance from BES through this phase to help them navigate the entirety of the authorization process. In addition, BES will work with Fellows affected by this timeline to identify additional funding opportunities for Fellows, wherever possible.
Please note that Fellows may begin assignments prior to Fellowship orientation.
