Company Background
KIPP North Carolina is a network of eight tuition-free, college-preparatory public charter schools serving around 3,000 students from kindergarten through 12th grade across various counties. Our mission is to enhance the life outcomes of North Carolina's youth by providing culturally relevant curricula that are research-based, and by equipping our students with the necessary tools to navigate their paths to success.
We are dedicated to cultivating a pool of the state’s most skilled and effective educators and leaders through competitive salaries, comprehensive professional development led by experienced coaches and mentors, and the resources required for success, all grounded in our core values:
Commitment to Excellence
We maintain high expectations for our staff and are devoted to offering the essential resources, training, mentorship, and feedback to help each team member not only meet but surpass expectations. We believe that excellence is a continuous journey rather than a final destination.
Knowledge Development
We provide our educators with extensive professional development opportunities, both school-based and external, aimed at empowering them with the latest teaching methodologies and technology integration strategies. Our leadership team and statewide teacher development group offer coaching to foster collaborative learning and the exploration of effective teaching practices.
Advocacy for Justice
As a collective, we actively work to dismantle systemic inequalities within our institution and enhance our understanding of anti-racism and Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) through regular organization-wide workshops that guide us in reshaping our workplace culture.
Fostering Joy
We prioritize recognizing and celebrating the remarkable contributions of our staff, understanding the significance of a positive and collaborative work environment. We organize monthly team-building activities to promote camaraderie and community.
Collective Growth
We create opportunities for our community to come together and celebrate achievements, honoring the diverse identities that contribute to our collective success.
