KIPP schools work closely with families to create a welcoming school environment where students can succeed. Through phone calls, emails, home visits, and parent-teacher conferences, KIPP schools regularly communicate with families about their child's academic development to help students from educationally underserved communities develop the knowledge, skills, character, and habits needed to succeed in college and the competitive world beyond.

Enroll (注册) at a KIPP School

A safe and structured environment

Students need physical and emotional safety in order to take risks and learn from their successes and their mistakes. Our schools provide an environment with minimal distractions (干扰) and more time for academics, so our students love school and maximize their learning.

A three-way partnership

By choosing KIPP, students, parents, and teachers make a commitment to excellence. All three parties are in it together. They sign an agreement called the "Commitment to Excellence," which ensures that each will do whatever it takes to help the student learn.
