Ky Adderley, Founder and School Leader
KIPP AMP Academy (Brooklyn, NY)

"I was responsible for every decision relating to the school, from locating the school building and creating a curriculum to designing the school mascot. But, by far, the highlight is working one-on-one with the children. Seeing them struggle with something, giving them the resources they need, and watching as they figure it out."  Profile...
