About KIPP NYC

KIPP NYC Public Schools is a non-profit network of free, public charter schools that prepares students for success in college and life.

In 1995 we started our first middle school, KIPP Academy, in The Bronx.

Our goal was to graduate students with the strength of character and academic abilities needed to succeed in high school, college and beyond - and in so doing, to prove what is possible for all students.

Today, our New York City network is comprised of eight elementary schools, nine middle schools, one high school, and KIPP Forward, a comprehensive support program for our alumni.

KIPP NYC Public Schools currently serves more than 9,350 students and alumni and has a staff of more than 850.

KIPP NYC is continuing to grow and opened two new middle schools and an elementary school August 2021
