For New Orleans families seeking an exceptional education for the 2024-2025 academic year, KIPP New Orleans Schools offers a comprehensive and innovative approach to learning that nurtures the whole child. With a commitment to academic excellence and diverse learning experiences, KIPP provides students with the tools they need to succeed in school and beyond.
"At KIPP, we believe that every student has the potential to achieve great things," says Melissa Cantave, Director of Recruitment and Student Experiences at KIPP New Orleans Schools. "Our goal is to provide a supportive and challenging environment that encourages students to explore their interests, develop their talents, and grow as individuals."
One of the hallmarks of a KIPP education is the opportunity for high school students to earn an Associate of Arts degree from Bard College while still in high school. This groundbreaking program allows students to get a head start on their college education and sets them up for success in their future academic and professional pursuits.
KIPP's commitment to student growth extends beyond the classroom. With a wide range of extracurricular activities, including the regional STEM Hub, robotics teams, debate clubs, the regional choir, marching and symphonic bands, students have the opportunity to explore their passions and develop new skills. These experiences foster a sense of community and help students build the confidence and resilience they need to thrive.
"We believe that education is about more than just academics," says Cantave. "It's about providing students with the experiences and skills they need to become well-rounded, engaged citizens who are prepared to make a positive impact on the world."
The success of KIPP's approach is evident in the remarkable achievements of its students. This year, KIPP New Orleans Schools' students have collectively earned an impressive $51 million in scholarships, opening up a world of possibilities for their future.
"We want our students to feel empowered to pursue their dreams, no matter how big or small," says Cantave. "That's why we work so hard to create a school culture that values individuality, creativity, and perseverance."
