What Makes KC Girls Prep Unique?
“I have the opportunity to truly build a space that I would have wanted to attend as a child. A space where teachers look like me, books have characters who reflect my experiences, and I work in partnership with families.”
“The students!! The way that they are already thinking about social justice issues and wanting to impact our society with evidence based ideas is inspiring.”
“The support! I love the commitment that I feel from each and every member of the team to each other, to the students, and to the community as a whole.”
“I love that we are creating something new. I also love that you can see everyone's passion for kids and our work. It inspires me to stay in this work and be a better educator!”
“Working with our young women in an intentionally feminist, anti-racist environment is constantly inspiring. Working with a team that is committed to this vision and mission and that truly seeks to grow and develop through our staff Circle process means that I feel very connected to my colleagues and as invested in their success and growth as my own.”
During my interview, leadership assured me administrators encourage teachers to have a healthy work-life balance and do not pressure anyone for over time; in my experience this has been and continues to be true.
“This is a safe place that truly tries to model its values. Your full self is welcome here. We have space for you and want you to help shape our community.”
