People Type: Students

“KIPP has made me a better student…If you do your work, if you’re staying on top of it, you feel accomplished because the teachers will tell you about it. And even the students will, too. It’s all about pushing other kids up and pushing yourself up.”

“The best part about KIPP teachers is their communication and the trust that you can have for them. I trust them a lot because of the way they make me feel and the way they trust me.”

“Right now, I’m taking a lot of IB classes and those classes have helped me like a lot. It’s helping me see how college is going to work and what type of work is going to be shown in college.”

“KIPP has helped me become the person I want to be by giving me great examples of adults in my life that are just genuinely good people; people who care about you and who want to see you do good.”

“I feel safe when I walk through the doors at school because I know if I need help, it’s there and I will get it.”

“The teachers care about you on a personal level and if you’re ever struggling in school, they don’t just say it’s because you’re a bad student, they ask you ‘What’s going on at home?’ or ‘Are you juggling too many things?’ So it’s like being in a big family.”  

“[KIPP] always teaches you to be ahead in life. It teaches you to not only be a person in this world, but have in your mind a creation of dedication. It looks like you having focus but always asking questions.”
