About

KIPP Atlanta Collegiate (KAC) is a free, public charter high school that will open in July of 2011. As the first high school to join the very successful KIPP Metro Atlanta cohort of schools, we are focused on continuing KIPP’s track record of success in Atlanta Public Schools and pushing all of our scholars to college.

Mission

It is the mission of KAC to provide rigorous academic and character skills that will ensure our students get to and through college with the resources to thrive in their future pursuits.

Vision

KAC believes that the following core components will empower students to define and develop their passions and determine their goals for the future:

• Rigorous academic curriculum
• Explicit teaching of problem-solving and critical thinking skills
• Peer and teacher collaboration
• Self-Directed project based study
• Data-Driven curriculum planning
• Commitment to having a positive influence on their community and greater world.

Ways to Get Involved

Donate/Support: As a network of public charter schools, KIPP schools receive the majority of their funds from state and federal governments. However, KIPP offers much more than traditional schools, including an extended school day, week and year, field trips and extracurricular activities. To provide KIPP’s unique educational program, schools rely on support from community members, parents and local foundations.
