KIPP Mosaic Academy is one half of KIPP Texas Houston’s next 1:1 (one primary school to one secondary school) feeder pattern, and it provides a path for our KIPPsters who, once fully grown, will begin their journey in pre-K-3 and continue through 12th grade, attending only two schools on one campus.

At KIPP Mosaic Academy, we are driven by a deep love and understanding of our roots and individuality and, like a mosaic, we are connected through the power of community and solidarity. As life-long learners, we explore our hearts and minds to ignite the social, emotional and academic core values our community beautifully exudes. By embracing our personal and collective narrative, we rise together to challenge and dismantle the status quo to build a more just tomorrow for ourselves, our community, and our world.
