Students & Families
KIPP TRUTH Academy, established in 2003, is the first KIPP school in North Texas and is the pioneer school for what will become a network of schools in the KIPP Dallas-Fort Worth region.
KIPP DFW's TRUTH Academy is a free, open-enrollment, college-preparatory middle school located in south Oak Cliff on Kiest and Lancaster. We have been featured on Oprah, 60 minutes and recently on the documentary Waiting for "Superman" which premiered in Dallas in November depicting the education system in the United States and the new revolution of charter schools.
KIPP DFW's TRUTH Academy’s (KTA) mission is to equip traditionally underserved students with the character traits and skills necessary to succeed in top-quality high schools, colleges and the competitive world. At a time when many have given up on public education – and the futures of inner-city children – KTA is raising expectations. KTA students outperform their peers and advance toward college because we set high standards, inspire achievement and instill confidence.
