Careers

SCH partners with Independent Blue Cross to offer robust medical plans. We offer an HMO and a PPO plan. Employees who enroll in the HMO select a primary care physician and have access to specialists through a referral system. Unless there is an emergency, employees need to stay “in network” for all services. Employees who enroll in the PPO may see the provider of their choice without referrals. The plan has an individual and family deductible. Employees who elect the PPO plan have access to a Health Savings Account (HSA) to set funds aside to pay for their deductible. Both the HMO and PPO plans include prescription drug coverage.

SCH employees have access to any dentist of their choice through our dental PPO plan offered through Delta Dental. The plan provides preventive, basic, major, and orthodontia benefits.

SCH offers two plans: one group term life where the school pays 100% of the cost and the benefit is $50,000 to your beneficiary. Because the school recognizes the importance of granting employees a very rich benefits package, we started offering a voluntary life insurance benefit. Employees can buy additional insurance for themselves, their spouses, and their children. UNUM is our carrier for life insurance.

The school pays 100% of the short-term disability cost. If an employee becomes ill and is absent for five consecutive days, he or she would be eligible for short-term disability and would get paid 100% of their salary for the first 20 days. On day 21 the salary goes down to 60%. On day 91, if the employee is still out, she/he would be paid by the long-term disability policy, if the claim is approved by the insurance carrier, also UNUM. The long-term disability policy is paid by employees. The cost is minimal, but it allows employees to receive tax-free compensation in the event they go out for long-term disability. 

The school offers a retirement plan whereby eligible employees contribute 5% of their base pay and receive a 7.5% employer match. All contributions are 100% vested from day 1. In addition to the matched retirement plan, employees have access to a supplemental retirement annuity plan and to a ROTH IRA plan. TIAA-CREF is our vendor for retirement programs.

The school provides all full-time employees $990 to use towards lunch in the school’s cafeteria. The allowance is prorated for part-time employees and for employees who are hired after September 1st of each year. So there is such a thing as “free lunch” at SCH Academy! 

Employees have access to both medical and dependent care accounts. The dependent care account maximum is $5,000. The medical FSA is $2,750. FSAs allow employees to pay with pre-tax dollars for medical and dependent care expenses.

SCH is committed to providing access to professional development opportunities to all employees. In addition to pursuing advanced degrees, employees attend conferences and workshops on a regular basis.
