Knowledge is Power Program (KIPP) North Carolina is a network of eight tuition‑free, college‑preparatory public charter schools educating approximately 3,000 students in grades K‑12 in Durham, Halifax, Northampton and Mecklenburg counties. At KIPP NC, we are committed to improving the life outcomes of North Carolina’s children through research‑based rigorous curricula and by ensuring students have the roadmaps and guideposts they need to arrive at success—however they define it.

At KIPP, we see the gifts in everyone who walks through the doors of our schools—especially our teachers. Their skill, energy, love, determination on good and hard days. We support teachers to make the most of those gifts. It starts with respect—for their innate talent, desire to learn, professional growth and the lives they lead. We offer pay and benefits that reflect our appreciation for the invaluable role teachers play in lighting paths to opportunity.

As teachers progress, they always feel the KIPP Team and Family at their backs, with opportunities to lead and support to grow.
