Our Story
Every day, KIPP students and alumni across the country deploy their smarts and heart to break through any barrier that dares stand between them and the future they want. Together, they are lighting ever-wider paths to opportunity and change; for themselves, for all those who will follow them, and for us all.
Families
Charter Family Hill Day
The mental health crisis and gun violence are urgent issues affecting students and families across the country. Parents and guardians of children who attend public charter schools across the nation came together in Washington, DC to advocate for policies that center the needs and aspirations of their kids.
