Empowering students. Proving the possible in public education.

Two and a half years after Hurricane Katrina, there is unprecedented momentum to build a public education system that serves all students with the highest quality education.

Be a part of the movement. Build a school. Rebuild a city.

More Time. Part of the national network of KIPP schools, KIPP New Orleans believes that students need more time in school to make significant academic gains. Students attend classes from 7:30 am to 5:00 pm, alternating Saturdays, and for two to four weeks in the summer. They complete up to two hours of homework every night, and learn to succeed at the highest levels. Scholars also are given the opportunity to excel in extra-curricular activities and take their learning into the community.

Going the Distance. KIPP New Orleans has the highest expectations of our students, knowing that with dedication they will achieve at the highest levels. As educators and leaders, we know that we must do whatever it takes to support them, their families, and our community. Working at KIPP New Orleans requries an incredible work ethic and dedication to our students. Teachers are available in the evenings via cell phone for homework help or parent concerns. We meet all students where they are and provide the instruction and support to ensure they reach their full potential.

Our Team and Family. KIPP New Orleans is invested in the professional development of our teachers and staff. We work as a team, both within and across our schools, to overcome any challenges we face, to share our learnings as we grow, and to continually push ourselves to improve our instruction.

No Shortcuts. No Excuses. We at KIPP New Orleans take full responsibility for the learning of our students. Regardless of the other pressures and stresses in their lives, if our students are not learning,responsibility lies with the adults and teachers in our schools. If we set high expectations for our students and provide the structures and supports for them to achieve, each and every student can reach their full potential.
