About The Position

KIPP Jacksonville Public Schools is building a pool of qualified candidates for potential high school teaching opportunities during the 2027–28 school year. Specific campus openings, grade levels, and subject assignments have not been finalized, and applying does not guarantee a position or offer. Candidates may be considered for opportunities across the KIPP Jacksonville region according to organizational needs, staffing, and qualifications; final placement and assignments will be determined closer to the start of the school year. Teachers are responsible for at least one subject area and for creating a positive classroom environment, implementing curriculum, assessing students, collaborating with their team, building relationships with families, and performing other duties as assigned. Full responsibilities are determined by the school leader. Core high school subject areas include science, history, English language arts, and math. Lead teachers will likely have a homeroom class and teach several classes in their subject area, though teaching loads may vary. Electives are selected by the school leader based on student interest and teacher certification. Foreign language and elective teachers should apply through a separate posting. KIPP Bold City High School aims to be a school built around student voice and choice. It offers honors and Advanced Placement classes, career and technical education, extracurricular activities, and sports. The school plans to expand career tracks and offer dual enrollment as it grows. Teachers should align with the school’s approach to student voice and choice and be flexible in responding to student interests. Bold City High School is located at the McDuff campus, 1440 McDuff Avenue North, Jacksonville, Florida. Teachers receive individualized coaching and professional development. The advertised starting salary for a first-year lead teacher is $55,000.
