KIPP Nashville College Prep

KIPP Nashville College Prep (KNCP) is a free, open-enrollment public charter school located in North Nashville. At KNCP, we offer a rigorous college preparatory program combined with character instruction that aligns with our core values:

• Community Centered: We work together in a supportive environment to help each other grow and achieve. We recognize that we are stronger as a team than we ever will be on our own.
• Results Driven: We set and strive to meet ambitious goals both academically and behaviorally. We expect to go above and beyond in all we do, and we do this because it will hold us to the standards we need to succeed.
• Champion Spirit: We display grit and optimism when finding solutions to our problems. We never give up.
• Servant Leadership: We act as positive role models in our school and community and influence others to do the same. We lead by example in service to others and keep the promises we make.

KIPP Nashville College Prep, KIPP’s second middle school in Northeast Nashville, opened in 2013 and educates students in grades five through eight. At KNCP, we believe that every child has the opportunity to be a leader. We promote a college-bound culture through intentional character building, including a course on leadership, strong academics, and a growing music program. Extracurricular opportunities include student council, basketball, cross country, track, cheerleading, step team and a variety of clubs.

In the 2017-2018 school year, KNCP students achieved the highest year over year academic growth possible and ranked among the best public middle schools in the city. KNCP outperformed the district and state in Math and Science on TNReady and was recognized as a 2019 Reward School for posting student growth in the top 5% of all public schools in Tennessee.

KIPP Nashville College Prep is open to all students who are residents of Davidson County.
