KIPP is America's largest network of charter schools.

The school operates on a longer school day Monday through Thursday, and half days on Fridays. One of the main goals is literacy, and KIPP partners with established literacy partners to develop what the school calls "master readers." In addition to core curriculum instruction, KIPP believes in the power of artistic expression for the development of the whole person, and includes music and art for the enjoyment and benefit of its students. According to KIPP's national website, continuous learning is one of the organization's core values, and it is evidenced in both leadership development and support for excellent teaching among its staff. Students are required to wear school uniforms, and bus transportation is provided. A free breakfast, lunch and snack is provided daily for all students.
