Compensation

We offer a generous compensation package, including full health benefits.

Base salaries are determined by the ICP salary scale. Placement on the salary scale is determined by years of relevant, teaching experience. We do not negotiate salaries because of research that demonstrates the resulting impact of inequitable pay, primarily for women and people of color. Placement on the salary scale is solely determined by relevant experience.

Starting salary (Year 0) for a certified teacher with zero years of experience starts at $53,000. Please reach out to the hiring team for inquires regarding the salary scale.
