Job Description
Enrollment Manager
New York, New York
Seton Education Partners seeks a mission-driven, results-oriented individual to be an enrollment manager of the Brilla Schools Network. We are looking for a resourceful, organized and highly efficient team member who will provide outstanding support to both our middle school and elementary schools.
Background
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 in America, which have served the economically disadvantaged well for decades.
In 2013, amidst the shuttering of 60+ urban Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of New York, Seton launched Brilla College Prep Public Charter School in the Mott Haven neighborhood of the South Bronx. Brilla, which means “shine” in Spanish, has achieved academic results that parallel the nation’s most acclaimed high-poverty schools. Alongside Brilla, Seton launched El Camino, an optional, privately funded after-school Catholic faith formation program. In only 6 years, 119 children have been baptized through their participation in El Camino.
Seton is working to take these remarkable achievements to scale by managing a network of schools and programs that ensure that thousands of underserved children whose Catholic schools close—and other local children—have access to an academically excellent, character-building, and, for those who choose it, faith-nurturing education. This network is a national model for how other cities facing the shuttering of Catholic schools can continue to serve children and families with limited educational options.

About the Brilla Schools Network
Brilla Public Charter Schools, K-8 Schools in the classical tradition, help students to grow intellectually, socially, and physically into young men and women of good character and spirit, and to be prepared for excellence in high school, college and beyond. Brilla schools seek to form students to lead lives of excellence, virtue and purpose. We do this through a classically-inspired curriculum and pedagogy, a robust character education program, centered around our core virtues of courage, justice, wisdom and self-control, a longer school day and year, technology-based blended learning to deliver individualized instruction, and intensive teacher support.
The first Brilla charter school opened its doors in 2013, with 200 kindergarten and first graders, and currently serves 1360 children in grades K-8 across five campuses in the Bronx. Currently composed of four elementary and one middle school, the Brilla network plans to open three middle schools over the next four years. Brilla is partnered with the Public Prep charter school network to open Vertex, the first partnership charter high school in the Bronx, in 2022, to serve each network’s graduating 8th grade students.
Roughly three-fourths of Brilla scholars are Latino, and one fourth are African American. Over 90% qualify for the federal meals program. About one in three students are Multi Language Learners, and one in five has special needs.
About El Camino
El Camino, which means “The Way” in Spanish, is an optional, privately-funded Catholic after-school faith formation program that is closely partnered with Brilla charter schools. El Camino helps children, their families and their catechists to know, love and serve Christ and His Church; develop the habits, dispositions and beliefs that are indispensable to human flourishing and happiness; and live as disciples in this world and saints in the next. El Camino honors the teaching authority of the Catholic Church.
El Camino currently serves approximately 40% of Brilla’s students for 90 minutes a day, Monday through Thursday. Children receive homework help from experienced teachers, a nutritious snack, and 30 minutes each of catechism and physical fitness. Additionally, children and families have opportunities for shared and personal prayer and character formation. This video provides a snapshot of El Camino. El Camino will grow to serve children through 8th grade, growing a grade level at a time each year.
