Vision:

Every child grows up free to create the future they want for themselves and their communities.

We are a Team & Family

At KIPP, we see the gifts in everyone who walks through the doors of our schools. Especially our teachers. Their skill. Energy. Love. Their determination. On the good days and on the hard days. So, we support our teachers in making the most of those gifts. It starts with respect – for our teachers’ innate talent and desire to learn, for their professional growth, and for the lives they lead beyond our walls.

WHY YOU’LL LOVE TEACHING AT KIPP

You’ll Work With A Team That Lives Its Values

Whether in a school-based or campus support role, our team is dedicated to living our values. Together, we work in schools and communities, not classrooms.

You’ll Be The Change

You’ll be part of a national network of 270 KIPP schools and 2 dedicated schools in Tulsa. We believe in the infinite potential of all people. Our hope, drive, and optimism fuel our daily work and drive us toward achieving a more equitable and just world, starting with our KIPP scholars.

You’ll Be Valued

Our teachers are well compensated and have the tools, training, and technology to bring innovation to the classroom.

You’ll Never Stop Learning

The joy of teaching is that there’s always more to learn. We support our teachers – from those in their 1st year to those in their 20th year – with individualized coaching, professional learning communities, leadership development programs, and extensive resource-sharing.

You’ll Have Fun!

Whether at a family movie night, a staff professional development with an impromptu choir and dance, or a gratitude celebration, we create and celebrate joyful moments with our students, their families, and each other.
