Mission, TX

Seton Education Partners seeks a mission-driven, results-oriented leader to be the Early childhood Project Manager for the Estrellita-Seton Childcare at Brillante Academy in Mission, TX.  The project manager will oversee the development of the childcare program from the ground up!

About Seton Education Partners

Co-founded in 2009 by KIPP pioneer Scott W. Hamilton and Teach for America alumna Stephanie Saroki de García, Seton Education Partners is a response to the dramatic decline of urban Catholic schools which have historically been the greatest equalizing factor for economically underserved children, families, and communities in America for decades. Specifically, Seton expands opportunities for parents in underserved communities to choose an academically excellent, character-rich, and—for those who seek it—vibrantly Catholic education for their children. As a national non-profit, Seton partners with (arch)dioceses and others across the country to implement innovative and sustainable new models that bridge the best of Catholic education's rich tradition with new possibilities.
