KIPP Pride Campus LPN; grades K - 8

Every School. Every Student. Every Day.

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 the delivery of rigorous, research‑based curricula and by clearing the paths that our students choose to follow, ensuring they have the roadmaps and guideposts needed to arrive at success – however they define it.

We believe every student deserves the opportunity to lead a life filled with choice and opportunity. That belief drives everything we do and is why we’re looking for a dedicated and compassionate LPN to join our team.
