Mission/Vision

KIPP Explore Academy will provide its students with a world-class education that develops the knowledge, character, and critical thinking skills necessary for them to excel physically, academically, and socially on their journey to and through college and in the competitive world beyond.

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.
