KIPP DC: Discover Academy

About

In 2009, KIPP DC Discover Academy early childhood school opened at the KIPP DC Douglass Campus in Ward 8.  The school serves students in PreSchool (age 3), PreKindergarten (age 4), and Kindergarten (age 5).

KIPP DC Discover Academy nurtures and challenges some of KIPP DC’s youngest students. Discover Academy is located at KIPP DC’s newly renovated Douglass Campus, along with Heights Academy elementary school, AIM Academy middle school, and KIPP DC College Preparatory high school.

Ways to Get Involved

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.
