Why KIPP New Orleans?
At KIPP New Orleans Schools, our approach to education goes beyond academics. We champion boundless academic growth through joyful discoveries tailored to each child’s unique learning style and interests. Our dedicated teachers ignite curiosity and guide scholars to cultivate their passions, creating an environment where creativity and individuality flourishes alongside high expectations and clear milestones—from pre-K to graduation day.
In addition to our academic focus, we believe in providing impactful opportunities for KIPPsters to explore, develop friendships, and pursue passions within the school day.
Our robust programs, including arts, robotics, and sports—typically deemed extracurricular at other schools—are seamlessly woven into the KIPPster experience. This unique approach allows scholars ample time to discover and build distinctive talents and strengths, enabling them to proudly stand out from the crowd.
In our classrooms, libraries, and local neighborhoods, learning adventures unfold daily.
Scholars confidently navigate both independent and collaborative projects, while field trips, competitions, and performances provide glimpses of promising futures. The skills and knowledge acquired from pre-K to graduation day empower KIPPsters to continue achieving long after commencement as successful alumni.
