KIPP Jacksonville Public Schools seeks a High School Physics Teacher for the  school year.

KIPP Bold City's vision is to be a high school built on student voice and choice. Bold City offers a variety of options for its students – including honors classes, Advanced Placement classes for all, and career/technical education. Classes are chosen based on student and family interest. As the school grows, we seek to add more career tracks as well as Dual Enrollment.

We also offer a variety of extracurriculars and sports to students. We seek teachers that are aligned to our philosophies around student voice and choice and are flexible to meet the interest areas of students.

Please note the location of Bold City High School is the McDuff campus located at 1440 McDuff Avenue North.
