Get Involved
KIPP Dallas-Fort Worth (KIPP DFW) is part of a national network of free, open-enrollment, college-preparatory schools known as the Knowledge Is Power Program (KIPP). The additional time and the top tier educational and character curriculum taught at KIPP schools has resulted national college matriculation rate of 89 percent, measured from eighth-grade completion at a KIPP school.
The mission of KIPP DFW is to provide underserved children in our community with a free, rigorous, high-quality education that offers the knowledge, skills and character traits necessary to thrive in school, college and the competitive world beyond. KIPP’s philosophy is simple: if adults create a culture of high expectations; focus on character; provide more time on task; and empower highly capable teachers and kids to apply themselves with hard work, every child can climb the mountain to college.
