Everyone, regardless of socioeconomic circumstances or background, deserves choice and opportunity.

At KIPP Texas – Austin Obras, we believe that the power to forge one’s desired path in life begins with a relevant values-driven education that cultivates critical thinking, ownership of knowledge, and independence.

By strengthening our student’s academic skills, intellectual habits, and character traits through daily social emotional learning, higher order thinking tasks, and access to technology, we will prepare students to thrive in and graduate from four-year colleges and universities while creating a sustainable career for teachers. With families and members of the Austin community, we will forge a sense of team and family to create a school community that is stronger in unity than the sum of its parts.
