At KIPP schools:
- parents are encouraged to be involved and contribute
- teachers believe that all students will learn and achieve at the highest
levels - students work hard and come to school ready to learn
We help students learn by:
- creating a safe and structured learning environment
- requiring parents, teachers, and students to all sign a Commitment to
excellence form that sets clear expectations - extending the school day, week and year
- offering extracurricular activities
- organizing exciting end of year learning trips
- having teachers available by cell phone after school for homework help
- holding students accountable for behavior as well as academic success

KIPP schools are tuition-free, open-enrollment public schools. Students
are accepted regardless of background or academic record on a first-
come, first-served basis. If more students apply than spaces are available,
students are admitted by lottery. Read what other parents are saying about KIPP.
To enroll your child, please contact the school in your community directly by phone or email.
