At KIPP Texas, our students, called Little KIPPSters, families, teachers, and staff, called Big KIPPsters, create a community we call Team & Family. Through this community, KIPP students are supported in each step of their education, and even as alumni after they leave our campuses.
Little KIPPsters, Welcome to the Team & Family!
At KIPP Texas, we believe that together with families and communities, we create joyful, academically excellent schools that prepare students with the skills and confidence to pursue the paths they choose — college, career, and beyond — so they can lead fulfilling lives and build a more just world.
At KIPP Truth Academy, 8th-grade mentors work with kinder through 4th-grade mentees, and the results are extraordinary. But don't take our word for it – listen to these students. 💕

On your application, please double-check your child’s birthday and the grade they will enter for the next school year, and the correct contact information.
