About The Position

KIPP Jacksonville Public Schools is building a pool of candidates for potential high school teaching opportunities for the 2027–28 school year. Teachers will teach at least one subject area and are responsible 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 teacher responsibilities are ultimately outlined by the school leader.

KIPP Bold City High School aims to be a high school built on student voice and choice. Its offerings include honors classes, Advanced Placement classes, career and technical education, extracurricular activities, and sports. As the school grows, it plans to add career tracks and Dual Enrollment opportunities. Teachers should align with the school’s student voice and choice philosophy and be flexible in responding to student interests.

The high school model may change as grade levels are added. Core subject areas include science, history, English language arts, and math. Lead teachers will likely have a homeroom and teach several classes in their subject area, although teaching loads may vary. Electives are assigned by the school leader according to student interests and teachers’ certification areas; foreign language and elective teachers should apply through a separate posting. The position is based at the McDuff campus, 1440 McDuff Avenue North, Jacksonville, Florida. Campus, grade level, and subject-area assignments for the applicant pool are not yet finalized and will depend on organizational staffing needs and candidate qualifications. Applying does not guarantee an opening or an employment offer.

The current starting salary for a first-year lead teacher is $55,000. Lead teachers receive individualized coaching and professional development. Additional stipends may be available; instructional stipends are available only to teachers with Florida Department of Education certification. Compensation and benefits offerings may change each school year, and final terms would be provided in an offer letter.
