At KIPP DC schools, students develop the knowledge, skills, and confidence to become Washington DC’s next generation of leaders. Equipped with a KIPP DC education, our alumni are empowered to be successful in college, careers, and life. KIPP DC schools educate and support students in the District of Columbia who have historically had limited access to quality educational options. We are grounded in a commitment to excellence, equity, and justice. In partnership with families, we approach our work with a set of core beliefs: We believe all students have the right to rigorous, relevant, and joyful learning experiences led by exceptionally talented educators who promote student achievement and a sense of belonging. We believe students and alumni best succeed when surrounded by a community of champions and advocates. We believe communities thrive when our public school systems are diverse, ambitious, purposeful, and unwavering in their focus on what is best for students. KIPP DC educates 6,800 students at 18 schools on seven campuses in the District of Columbia.
