KIPP Foundation

We support KIPP Public Schools, a network of 278 public charter schools across the United States. We serve over 16,000 educators and 189,000 students and alumni. Our work focuses on K-12 education and preparing students for college.

We aim for 95% of our students to enroll in college and 85% to enroll in four-year programs by 2030. To achieve this, we build partnerships with colleges and manage a portfolio of partner institutions.

At the school level, we coordinate major assessments like interim exams, ACT/SAT, EOCs, and AP exams. We also implement K-12 assessment strategies for both summative and formative evaluations using platforms like Renaissance (Illuminate) DNA.

We provide financial and operational support to our network. This includes core financial management, systems improvements, and administrative services such as front-desk operations, attendance, and student record management.

Our values center on achieving Excellent Results for Students, making a Collective Impact, and taking Courageous Action. We also emphasize equity, teamwork, and serving diverse communities. Our mission is to advance education nationwide.

Our culture is mission-driven and team-oriented. We foster a collaborative and innovative environment where we focus on achieving excellent student outcomes and promoting equity in higher education partnerships. We encourage employees to build strong regional relationships and work across different programs and levels.
