Company Overview

KIPP Stand Academy


KIPP is a national network of free, open-enrollment, college-preparatory public schools with a track record of preparing students in underserved communities for success in college and in life. In the 2008-09 school year, there will be 66 KIPP schools in 19 states and the District of Columbia serving over 16,000 students.

All KIPP schools are tuition-free, open-enrollment public schools. Students are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis regardless of prior academic record, conduct, or socioeconomic background. KIPP students are in school learning 60 percent more than average public school students, typically from 7:30 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. on weekdays, every other Saturday, and for three weeks during the summer.

KIPP schools have been widely recognized for putting underserved students on the path to college. Eighty percent of our students are low-income, and 90 percent are African American or Latino. Nationally, more than 90 percent of KIPP middle school students have gone on to college-preparatory high schools, and more than 80 percent of KIPP alumni have gone on to college.
