School Psychologist (2026-2027)

Are you ready to lead the next chapter of educational excellence? At Zeta, we pursue an unprecedented combination of high academic achievement and social-emotional development for our students.

We currently operate multiple elementary and middle schools across the Bronx, Upper Manhattan, and Queens, and continue to grow - opening 1–2 new schools each year. As part of this organisational expansion, we are also preparing to welcome our first-ever Zeta High School class of 9th graders in the 2026-27 school year.
