The KIPP Approach
We believe every child can achieve something extraordinary. So we build schools that hold high expectations and make room for real joy, places full of energy, curiosity, and hard work. Character matters, too. We teach students to lead with honesty and respect while achieving at the highest levels. And, no one does this alone. Families, teachers, and school leaders learn from each other and work together, so every student is set up for college, career, and beyond.
Kindergarten to College— and Beyond
We prepare every student for college, and stick with them through their post-secondary journey. Through KIPP Forward, we give students guidance on college applications, financial aid, and the transition to campus life. That support continues once they're enrolled, helping students navigate challenges so they finish what they started. Through KIPP Forward, our team helps students apply to college, navigate financial aid, and adjust to life on campus. It's why KIPP alumni pursue four-year degrees at nearly twice the rate of their peers, and why so many stay connected to a national community of KIPPsters for years after they've left our classrooms.
