Middle School: Math Lead Teacher - Boston

Overview

Our Mission:
Together with our families and communities, we create joyful and identity-affirming schools where students achieve excellent and equitable academic outcomes. We believe this prepares students to pursue any path—college, career, and beyond—to lead fulfilling lives and build a more just world. Our program is based on: high-quality instruction with rigorous professional development; strong character development; family engagement; and college readiness for all students.

What We Do:

We seek to provide a world-class education for students from educationally underserved communities in Lynn and Boston. Our student demographics mirror those of neighborhood schools in terms of race, socioeconomic status, Multilingual Learners (MLL), and students who receive special education services. Our graduates will be prepared to return to their community as teachers, leaders, and architects of continued growth in Lynn and Boston.

Who We Are:

KIPP Massachusetts began enrolling students in 2004. We operate two districts, KIPP Academy Lynn Charter School (Lynn, MA) and KIPP Academy Boston Charter School (Mattapan, MA). Each district is housed on campuses that refer to different grade spans. In Lynn, KIPP Academy Lynn Elementary (K-4), Lynn Middle (5-8), and Lynn Collegiate (9-12) are under the Lynn charter. In Boston, KIPP Academy Boston (K-8) is under the Boston charter.

Across both districts, we serve over 2,200 students.
