Job Description

We are hiring for Assistant Principals for KIPP Newark for the school year Candidates from any subject area are welcome to apply, but we are most interested in Middle School & High School candidates who specialize in either STEM or Humanities.

Here's what you need to know:

Our schools are seeking awe-inspiring Assistant Principals (APs) to coach and grow our teachers who in turn support our students as they climb the mountain to college, career, and beyond. Our ideal APs were great teachers with strong results of their own, are instructional gurus who can teach their moves to others, and have experience leading, managing, and coaching adults in their schools.

The AP's primary responsibility is to drive and own instructional outcomes for students. We expect our Assistant Principals to focus >75% of their time on instructional leadership. APs are the backbone for a specific content area or grade level and see themselves as the key decision maker and leader for a subset of the student population.
