About Our School
In the heart of Morris Heights, KIPP Elements Primary is a joyful learning community where curiosity and academic excellence meet. Every day begins with warm greetings and mindful routines before students dive into hands-on learning in reading, math, science, design, performing arts, and even robotics! Exploration and creativity are at the core of our school, alongside strong family partnerships built through Coffee & Conversations, Learning Nights, Read-Alouds, and community gatherings. Together, we celebrate learning, discovery, and community every single day.

What makes us unique is our commitment to courageous curiosity, empowering students to question, invent, and bring bold ideas to life. Through science, design thinking, and robotics, children tackle real-world problems while learning about innovators and creators of color. Our vibrant arts program adds another dimension of creativity, and two beautiful play terraces, along with a state-of-the-art gym, provide the perfect spaces to learn, play, and grow every day. Additionally, our middle school, KIPP ALL, shares the same building, ensuring a seamless, supportive path for students as they advance.
