About KIPP NYC:

KIPP NYC Public Schools is a non-profit network of 18 free, public charter schools in the Bronx, Brooklyn, and Manhattan.

We partner with families and communities to create joyful and rigorous schools in pursuit of a more just world.

In 1995 we started our first middle school, KIPP Academy, in the Bronx, with a vision that every child grows up free to create the future they want for themselves and their communities.

Today, our network consists of eight elementary schools, nine middle schools, one high school, and KIPP Forward, a comprehensive program to support our students and alumni in choosing and preparing for the educational and career paths that fit their goals and sense of purpose.

The Postsecondary Success Collaborative works with graduates ("alumni") of KIPP, Achievement First, and a growing number of other select high school-serving organizations, to empower them for success in college and their careers.
