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.

To enroll your child in a KIPP school:

Please contact the school in your community directly by phone or email. For a list of KIPP schools with contact details and the grades served by each school, go to Schools directory

At KIPP schools:

• Parents are encouraged to be involved and contribute;
• Teachers have the freedom to innovate and never give up on a child;
• 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.
