Our Approach

KIPP Kirkpatrick’s mission is to positively impact all students’ lives by building a school grounded in love for our students, families, and our community. We encourage students to take risks to learn the character, academic, and social skills needed to choose their futures in high school, college, and the world beyond.

The KIPP Kirkpatrick family is guided by our school values.

Bravery
Doing something even though we may feel worried or scared about how it will go, taking risk
Curiosity
A desire to know or learn
Joy
Having fun and enjoying what we do
Love
Caring for and treating each other like family
Patience
Accepting that we are on a journey and giving ourselves and others grace to be imperfect along the way
Integrity and Persistence
Trying my best and not giving up, even when something is challenging. Doing the right thing even when no one is watching
