At KIPP Paseo Primary we embark on a lifelong journey of learning and self-discovery as we celebrate and affirm the voices and stories of our students, staff, families, and communities. Through rigorous academics and joyful collaboration, we develop the skills and habits necessary to lead a life of choice. We seize every opportunity to learn, reflect and grow as we share our voice and our story with the world. Together, day by day, we boldly create the future we dare to envision.

We believe in celebrating our identity, working together in the service of others, providing a rigorous, relevant academic experience for students and encouraging students to discover their voice, strengths and passions as they continue on their path forward.
