KIPP teaches values to my children. It is not just their school but their home. They are able to be themselves here. It was a no-brainer for me to choose KIPP for my family.

I work at KIPP because I have experienced a feeling of an extended family from everyone. The support I receive is nothing like I have experienced before. I am truly appreciative of the opportunity I have here at KIPP.

We didn’t choose KIPP… KIPP chose us. We are proud to be KIPPsters, and to work with great teachers and staff. To be part of KIPP is an honor.

KIPP has a great College and Career team. They get to know you. You get to have that connection with them. They are offering you things that you are interested in and building that interaction.
Carla

KIPP is the reason my brother and I are who we are through their personal support, care, knowledge, and overall commitment. They made sure I continued to grow from 2008 all the way through college.
Jessee
KIPP NYC Alumnus
I operate from a place of love. Children are with us K-16 and beyond so the partnership between families, teachers, and students are aligned around a mission for students to achieve maximum success.
Hericka
KIPP NYC Social Worker
What I love about teaching at KIPP is working with a staff where everyone is on the same page. Everyone has the same mentality and work ethic and motivation and the same vision — work hard for our kids!
Gloria

At KIPP, we believe that a quality education expands the mind, leans on the heart, and moves the body. Our students will be critical thinkers and the empathetic leaders of tomorrow.
John
KIPP NYC Principal
I chose KIPP for their dedication to educating my daughter. I am a firm believer in leading by example, and the faculty and staff at KIPP continue to provide that to her, and she counts down the days to returning to school from vacation!
Ivi
KIPP NYC Parent
My advisors gave me the opportunity to identify my goals. I learned how to prepare for college and succeed. Before I knew it, I was opening my University of Pennsylvania acceptance letter in the mail.
Kevin
KIPP NYC Alumnus
We have a very robust after school program at our middle schools. I coach and organize the KIPP Cup, a girls and boys basketball tournament against other east coast KIPP regions. I love it because after school and athletics present more opportunities to work with students.
Gerard
KIPP NYC Teacher
I enjoy every second I am able to stand in front of each and every one of my students and share my love of learning with them. Collaborating and working with teachers in the school brings me lots of joy!

I’m building a school where everyone comes together in the service of young people. Our school will uplift students to become the pillars and leaders of their community—continuing the work with, and for, future generations.

Every single day I’m learning something different. Supporting all students is something that I hold near and dear to my heart. It’s a lot of fun; it’s really nice to be back.

My four beautiful daughters have attended KIPP since kindergarten. The school does a great job of maintaining a loving, caring, and goal-oriented environment. KIPP exemplifies family and academics, and I am honored to have my girls grow and learn here.
Charlene

What makes me happy is that she’s being nurtured here – the same way that my family would nurture her. KIPP knows what works and they are continuously evolving. Choose KIPP – you won’t regret it!
Cindy
KIPP NYC Parent
Who doesn’t love math? As a founding teacher, I wanted to continue to impact a community that looks like me, teach a subject, math, that I love, and do this work alongside a team that has shared beliefs and values as I do.
Yanet
KIPP NYC Principal in Residence
We don’t think of SEL as a need only for students. It is a collective experience for students, families, teachers and staff, especially during a time where it has been challenging to be a helper emotionally
Wilza
KIPP NYC Social Worker
We’re fortunate to be a part of such an amazing institution. KIPP is an extension of the love, hope, faith, and optimism I have for the future of my children. KIPP empowers and supports my children allowing them to graduate “whole” young adults.
Wanda
KIPP NYC Parent
We are committed to ensuring not only student success, but also to helping students create their own vision of success. At KIPP, we are shaping future thinkers, advocates, and trailblazers.

They welcome and involve you as a parent at KIPP. The love that is here for learning and the love they have for people from different cultures and education levels — there’s no better place to be than KIPP.
Stacy
KIPP NYC Parent
Take advantage of every opportunity. KIPP has amazing programs that are aimed to help students succeed. One of the reasons why I’m here today is because of all of these opportunities and I’m so grateful for that.
Stacey
KIPP NYC Alumna
I see so much effort in the way KIPP encourages the kids to be better and be independent. The love and dedication given every day is immeasurable. It’s more than a teacher-student relationship; It feels more like family. They really care about the success of my kids.
