Affordable medical, dental and vision plans, as well as short and long term disability plans, are available to all full-time staff. Inwood Academy pays for 80% of the annual plan, up to $16,000 a year. We also offer the option to purchase a higher-benefit plan at an increased fee.
Inwood Academy offers reimbursement for any approved gym membership or fitness class. We also provide on-site exercise classes, happy hours, celebratory dinners, and all-staff catered lunches during student-free days.
Inwood Academy offers each full-time staff member five personal days and five paid sick days. The school is closed approximately fifteen school days a year for breaks, ten days a year for national holidays, and over summer vacation days. Personal days are prorated based on mid-year hire.
Inwood Academy gives a 2.5% Cost of Living increase to full-time employees and provides a calendar year-end bonus to all employees. The bonus package for the 2020 year is currently under review.
All full-time, salaried employees are fully covered under a term life insurance plan and Inwood Academy pays 100% of the annual premium.
Staff are able to participate in a 403b retirement plan after 6 months of employment and Inwood Academy begins matching contributions (up to a maximum of 5% of base salary) immediately upon enrollment. A 403b is a tax-deferred retirement plan available to employees of educational non-profits.
The recruiting incentive for teaching staff is $1,000. The referring staff member will be paid after the new teacher has been working for at least 60 days with the school.
A healthy work-life balance is also important to our school culture, and we continually receive staff feedback on the operation of our school. We utilize the School Workplace Satisfaction Survey and the NYC DOE Learning Environment Survey, along with multiple informal surveys following internal PDs and other milestones throughout the year.
