A Day in the Life

At KIPP AMP Middle School, the commitment to nurturing the whole child is evident in various initiatives that go beyond academics. Pride Circles provide a dedicated space for students and staff to celebrate achievements, present solutions for growth, and foster motivation in both character and academics. In addition to rigorous classroom instruction, students benefit from Advisory sessions, where teacher-guided lessons equip them to navigate the complex landscape of well-being, social media, and technology. This proactive approach addresses challenges such as cyberbullying, ensuring a comprehensive program of turnkey, best-in-class resources that support students, educators, and families.
The school values character development through Team & Family, building a strong and supportive community. While academics remain a focal point of our school day, this initiative goes beyond, instilling in students the values of teamwork, camaraderie, and the joy of belonging to a community that supports one another.
