Get in touch
KIPP Affirm pairs strong academics with a vibrant, caring community. Our college-prep program blends rigorous academics with arts, wellness, and student choice. Students engage in inquiry-based science, rich reading and writing, and advanced math—including Algebra I Regents in 8th grade—while exploring identity and history in social studies. Guided Reading and individualized supports ensure every learner grows, and electives such as robotics, coding, theatre, dance, and team sports expand skills and passions. With meaningful traditions and wide-ranging electives, we prepare students to excel lead with confidence and compassion.
