KIPP Oklahoma currently educates over 1,000 students and supports hundreds of alumni.

Vision:

Every child grows up free to create the future they want for themselves and their communities.

We are a Team & Family

At KIPP, we see the gifts in everyone who walks through the doors of our schools. Especially our teachers. Their skill. Energy. Love. Their determination. On the good days and on the hard days. So we support our teachers to make the most of those gifts. It starts with respect – for our teacher’s innate talent and desire to learn, for their professional growth and the lives they lead beyond our walls.

The Five Pillars of KIPP

1. High Expectations. KIPP schools have clearly defined and measurable high

expectations for academic achievement and conduct that make no excuses based on

the students’ backgrounds. Students, parents, teachers, and staff create and reinforce a

culture of achievement and support through a range of formal and informal rewards and

consequences for academic performance and behavior.

2. Choice & Commitment. Students, their parents, and the faculty of each KIPP

school choose to participate in the program. No one is assigned or forced to attend a

KIPP school. Everyone must make and uphold a commitment to the school and to each

other to put in the time and effort required to achieve success.

3. More Time. KIPP schools know that there are no shortcuts when it comes to

success in academics and life. With an extended school day, week, and year, students

have more time in the classroom to acquire the academic knowledge and skills that will

prepare them for competitive high schools and colleges, as well as more opportunities

to engage in diverse extracurricular experiences.

4. Power to Lead. The principals of KIPP schools are effective academic and

organizational leaders who understand that great schools require great school leaders.

They have control over their school budget and personnel. They are free to swiftly move

dollars or make staffing changes, allowing them maximum effectiveness in helping

students learn.

5. Focus on Results. KIPP schools relentlessly focus on high student performance

on standardized tests and other objective measures. Just as there are no shortcuts,

there are no excuses. Students are expected to achieve a level of academic performance that will enable them to succeed at the nation’s best high schools and

colleges. Teachers will be provided consistent and constant professional development.
