Follow

KIPP has a 20-year track record of preparing students for success in college and life. One day our nation will know Newark, Camden, and Miami as cities of world-class public education. KIPP New Jersey | Miami schools are part of the nationally recognized “Knowledge Is Power Program” non-profit network of college-preparatory, free, public charter schools educating elementary, middle, and high school students. In 2002, KIPP New Jersey first opened its doors in Newark’s South Ward as a single class of 80 fifth graders and has since grown to serve over 5,800 students in grades K-12 in Newark and Camden. More than 90% of KIPP New Jersey students currently qualify for free or reduced meals. And in August 2018, KIPP New Jersey founded free, public, open-enrollment charter schools in Miami’s Liberty City and West Little River neighborhoods, becoming KIPP New Jersey | Miami. In the next few years, KIPP New Jersey | Miami will have 15 schools in Newark, 10 in Camden, and 4 in Miami. By offering highly effective educators with strong bonds to families, more time in school learning, services that support a variety of student needs, and a culture focused on achievement, our students succeed on their way to and through college.
