Frequently Asked Questions

Can I apply to Teach Kentucky if I didn't graduate from one of the sponsoring institutions?

YES! Although we receive support from alumni of our 15 sponsoring colleges and universities, Teach Kentucky accepts applications from anyone interested in teaching middle and high school. Unfortunately, we do not currently recruit for elementary schools.

Do I have to be an Education major to apply to the program?

No. We believe the high level of knowledge in a teacher's core content is what sets our teachers apart.

Who extends the hire offer, Teach Kentucky or the school district?

The individual school districts control the hiring of all teachers. Because of our successful track record with local school districts, applying through Teach Kentucky will distinguish your application from hundreds of others. When your application is submitted, it is automatically viewed by the hiring managers of the school districts for which you are applying.

Is your sole focus recruiting Math and Science teachers?

Although Math and Science teachers are most critically needed by the school districts at this time, we accept applications for every content area.
