Careers in Education
We are hiring dedicated educators and school administrative staff who want to make a lasting impact!
NCDAC has four youth schools that offer experienced, certified staff in the same essential roles you’d find in any North Carolina school district - guidance counselors, math, science, and exceptional children teachers, interventionists, assistant principals, principals, and more!
Our students receive instruction in all subject-specific NC standard curricula, with some preparing for high school equivalency exams and others learning career and vocational skills.
We also partner with more than 40 North Carolina community colleges to provide higher education opportunities.

Youth Schools
Four NCDAC institutions are dedicated Youth Schools, with people serving their sentences who are under 21 years of age, who have not completed high school.
- Foothills Correctional
- Richmond Correctional
- NC Correctional Institution for Women
- Granville Correctional
High school equivalency classes are taught by full-time, state-certified teachers assigned to the facilities. Certified principals lead all Youth Schools, with support from school counselors and school psychologists assigned at the facilities.
Academic & Vocational Programs
We partner with more than 43 NC community colleges and six post-secondary institutions of higher learning. Through these partnerships, those in custody can obtain basic and postsecondary educational opportunities that will assist them in obtaining and sustaining employment upon release. We also offer programming designed to teach the principles of cognitive behavioral intervention, social skills and mindset, and financial management.
