About KIPP Freedom Middle School

At KIPP Freedom Middle School, we believe we are the right people at the right time to continue the revolutionary fight for a just, free, and equitable world. Through rigorous and joyful education, we love and push each other to reach our happiest and highest selves. We develop independent leaders who think critically, work collaboratively, and act courageously. As a team and family, we use the power of our voices, stories, and writing to create a world that honors our past, transforms our present, and liberates our future.
