KIPP Truth Elementary

At KIPP Truth Elementary School, we believe that college readiness begins in kindergarten. Our academics support KIPPsters in developing and practicing intellectual habits and academic skills to prepare them for their chosen life. We equip our KIPPsters with the mindsets, knowledge, skills, and habits that will lead to a life of choice and empowerment to reach their goals and strengthen our community.

We strive to meet the academic needs of every child every day. As a college-prep school, we leverage our extended school day and school year to differentiate and target instruction. Every KIPPster receives more than three hours of literacy instruction each day. We leverage culturally responsive texts and themes to engage our students and motivate them to become lifelong readers. We provide small group guided reading daily, interventions geared at each child’s individual needs, and ensure that KIPPsters are growing as writers and scientists each day. Our math curriculum focuses on developing conceptual knowledge and provides targeted time for KIPPsters to become fluent and efficient mathematicians. Social studies are embedded in our literacy and math instruction, making learning tangible, relevant, and fun!

After school, our KIPPsters can participate in various after-school clubs such as art, gardening, choir, chess, and our dance team. We strive to engage every student in our school and are excited to continue to build our after-school activities!
