Our Kids- All kids deserve a top-quality education that prepares them for college and for a happy, responsible, self-sufficient, and successful life.

- What our kids experience at KIPP should both value them and their families and reflect what we want for all kids, including our own.
- Our team and family includes our students, alumni, families, staff, and the communities we serve.
- We actively seek to engage and include the families of our students.
- Because people make the difference, we must recruit, develop, retain, and reward a diverse team of outstanding people.
- We do what we say, in alignment with our beliefs, mission, and priorities.
- What we expect of our kids, we must ourselves embody and be committed to developing.
- By maximizing the quality of our direct impact with our students and families, we will maximize our positive indirect impact on others.
- We will actively share and learn from others both inside and outside KIPP NYC.
Our Mission
KIPP NYC’s mission is to teach our students to develop the character and academic skills necessary to succeed in high school and college, to be self-sufficient, successful, and happy in the competitive world, and to build a better tomorrow for themselves and us all.
