OUR ENVIRONMENTS

OUR LEARNING TIME
KIPP Memphis Public Schools provide standard learning time throughout the day, with days lasting from 8:00 a.m. - 3:30 p.m.
OUR FOCUS
At KIPP Memphis Public Schools, we focus on the whole child by offering options for athletics and extracurriculars.
We exist so our KIPPsters reach their potential and choose their own futures. Our students gain the knowledge AND character strengths necessary for success so they will become lifelong learners and productive citizens.
WHY IT MATTERS
KMPS partners with parents, students, and teachers. We provide outstanding educators, more time in school learning, and a strong achievement culture. KMPS helps all students climb the mountain to and through college, career and beyond.
WHAT WE DO
Our schools are preparing kids for success in college and life, and we are committed to building a better world for and with our KIPPsters.
Our strength and resolve, our health as a team and family, our productivity and effectiveness, and the quality of the decisions we make — are all rooted in our diversity. We strive to create an environment in which every member of our team can bring their full identity and experience to the work.
We embrace, honor and celebrate our differences across race, gender, age, ethnicity, religion, nationality, sexual orientation, gender orientation, physical abilities, socio-economic class, and other characteristics that construct our unique identities.
We are especially committed to attracting and developing individuals who share the life experiences of our students because we believe the best work we do is grounded in the realities and experiences of our families and KIPPsters.
FREE AND OPEN TO ALL
“My KIPP education followed me from my non-KIPP high school all the way through my KIPP Partner degree at Penn. I’ve had the opportunity to participate in KIPP specific pre-collegiate programming at Georgetown University, and I was fortunate to intern on Capitol Hill as a rising senior in college because of KIPP. Without the guidance of KIPP, I would not have built the confidence to apply for and ultimately obtain an Ivy League degree.”
