Job Overview

Company Background

KIPP Massachusetts is dedicated to fostering an educational atmosphere where students can cultivate essential academic skills, intellectual habits, and character traits that empower them to reach their fullest potential in high school, college, and beyond. Our educational approach emphasizes:

  • High-quality teaching supported by comprehensive professional development to equip students with the necessary academic skills for their chosen paths.
  • A strong commitment to character development, ensuring that both students and staff recognize and enhance their unique strengths.
  • Active family involvement, as we believe that collaboration with families is crucial for maximizing student potential.
  • A commitment to college readiness for every student, enabling informed decisions regarding their post-secondary education and future.

Our Commitment

We strive to deliver a premier education to students from historically underserved communities in Lynn and Boston. Our student body reflects the diversity of local schools in terms of race, socioeconomic status, Multilingual Learners (MLL), and students receiving special education services.

We promise families that their children will graduate prepared for college and professional success, equipped with literacy, numeracy, and foundational knowledge in science and social studies. Our students will also develop a passion for learning and the resilience needed to navigate their educational and career journeys. We envision our graduates returning to their communities as educators, leaders, and catalysts for ongoing development.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Vision

At KIPP Massachusetts, we recognize that knowledge is a powerful tool. Each day, our team has the opportunity to either uphold systems of oppression or challenge them. We are driven by the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion, and we are committed to functioning as an anti-racist organization.

In Boston, KIPP Academy Boston Elementary (grades K-4) and KIPP Academy Boston (grades 5-8) serve our students. Our admissions process allows students to transition seamlessly between grades within their respective districts.
