Company Overview 

Ombudsman Educational Services is a division of Educational Services of America (ESA), the nation's leading provider of K-12 and post-secondary alternative and special education programs. Ombudsman partners with school districts nationwide to help remove the roadblocks to graduation and offers alternative education programs for at-risk middle and high school students who want to get back on track. Many students do better in small learning communities where they receive individual attention, work on computers to master subjects at their own pace, and attend class on a flexible schedule that accommodates work and family responsibilities.

Ombudsman teachers have a special passion for working with students who are at risk. They love knowing they make a real difference in the lives of young people who would otherwise never graduate from high school. Ombudsman teachers share responsibilities with a team in a small learning community; therefore, they have the opportunity to review assignments and evaluate student work during the day rather than at night. They are not required to supervise after-school clubs or other activities, so their time is their own once the class day ends. They receive the materials, supplies and administrative support they need to be effective educators.
