At KIPP CONNECT, we believe our school should be a place in which educational excellence, character responsibility and balanced growth between these two should exist. Our vision is to support students in a way that encourages them to discover and develop their own talents to then be able to fulfill their endless potential to succeed in college and the world beyond. Our students are empowered to take ownership of their paths to and through college, not as passengers, but as pilots so that they are able to become productive and successful community members in whatever way they choose.
