Mission
KIPP NYC’s mission is to teach our students to develop the character and academic skills necessary to succeed in high school and college, to be self-sufficient, successful, and happy in the competitive world, and to build a better tomorrow for themselves and us all.
Beliefs
Our Kids
- All kids deserve a top-quality education that prepares them for college and for a happy, responsible, self-sufficient, and successful life.
- Character is as important as academic skills for success in school and life.
- What our kids experience at KIPP should both value them and their families and reflect what we want for all kids, including our own.
Our Families
- Our team and family includes our students, alumni, families, staff, and the communities we serve.
- We actively seek to engage and include the families of our students.
Our Way of Working
- Because people make the difference, we must recruit, develop, retain, and reward a diverse team of outstanding people.
- We do what we say, in alignment with our beliefs, mission, and priorities.
- What we expect of our kids, we must ourselves embody and be committed to developing.
Our Impact
- By maximizing the quality of our direct impact with our students and families, we will maximize our positive indirect impact on others.
- We will actively share and learn from others both inside and outside KIPP NYC.
