About

KIPP Generations Collegiate (KGC) will open its doors in the fall of 2011 and will serve college-bound 9th graders from Houston’s North and East communities. The academic and co-curricular programs at KGC provide a college preparatory experience that empowers students with the knowledge, skills and mindsets to go to and through college.

KGC provides a rigorous college preparatory education with an emphasis on reading, writing, and critical thinking. In addition to graduation requirements set by the Texas Education Agency, students at KGC will receive ongoing support to develop organizational skills and study habits that will enable them to be successful in college and beyond through our Collegiate Pathway. For more information on academics and culture, please visit KIPP Generations Collegiate.

Mission/Vision

KIPP Generations Collegiate generates a collegiate learning environment that engages students through curriculum that is inquiry-based, collaborative, and integrated into an academically rigorous college preparatory program.

We envision a generation of college ready critical thinkers who take responsibility for their learning and who contribute actively by giving back and paying forward. Our scholars will enter a college or university setting with an understanding that where they are from is very much a part of who they were meant to become, and the realization of their educational ambitions can change the trajectory of their futures, their family's future, and the community from which they belong.

Get Involved

Volunteer/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.
