Become a school leader

Are you interested in opening a high performing KIPP charter school? TEAM has a track record of success (83% of alumni are in college) and a long wait list of over 6,000 richly deserving students.

 

School leaders will enter KIPP’s Fisher Fellowship, a yearlong training program that includes intensive summer coursework, residencies in high-performing schools, and individualized coaching. Fellows receive in-depth support and insight into what it's like to lead a school—from establishing instructional vision to developing efficient operating systems; from recruiting students to hiring teachers; from curriculum development to community outreach. After the yearlong program, you’ll welcome your first class of students as they walk in the door to your school.

Team's Values

Every organization a set of prescribed “values” that it touts in its literature. Short of spending time within that organization, one cannot truly know if these values have meaning or are just platitudes. We invite you to come to any one of our schools and spend real time observing our students and our teachers—witnessing first hand our values in action. In the meantime, learn how we celebrate these values at our annual TEAMspys event or click the links below to see our staff recognized for exhibiting each:
