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 leadership team and statewide teacher development group offer coaching to foster collaborative learning and the exploration of effective teaching practices.

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.
