Mission Statement
The mission of KIPP DFW is to provide children in underserved communities 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. We envision that KIPP DFW will have a transformational impact on the city of Dallas. It will prove the possible to city leaders and education entities setting an example of excellence which can be emulated in other public school districts. Perhaps most importantly, KIPP DFW students will serve as role models to their families and communities. Our college graduates will return to their communities demonstrating the impact that education has had on their own lives and working to raise the standards and opportunities for growth.
Description
Since our founding, it has been our core belief that all students, regardless of their zip code or demographics, will learn and achieve. KIPP DFW is committed to serving the students who need us most and refuse to accept anything less than an excellent college-preparatory education for students from low-income communities.
