High school at KIPP Texas is more than just a place to earn a diploma—it’s a launchpad for success. Our high schools empower Little KIPPsters to chase excellence in college, career, and life with a rigorous academic curriculum, supportive educators, and a commitment to character development.
In 2023-24 Eight KIPP Texas high schools earned a spot on the College Board’s prestigious AP Honor Roll! This achievement underscores our commitment to expanding access to advanced coursework and fostering academic excellence. It also reflects the dedication of our educators and students in ensuring that all KIPPsters have the opportunity to excel in AP courses and beyond.
A College-Ready Culture
From day one, KIPP Texas high schools instill a college-going mindset. Through Advanced Placement (AP) courses, dual-credit opportunities, and high-quality instruction, students are challenged to think critically and excel academically. Our College and Career Counseling (KIPP Forward) team provides personalized support, guiding students through college applications, securing scholarships, and connecting them with internships and career pathways.
A Personalized Approach to Learning
No two students are alike, which is why we believe in tailoring our approach to meet the individual needs of each student. Our personalized learning strategies ensure that every KIPPster receives the support and guidance they need to excel academically and personally. Whether through one-on-one tutoring, small group instruction, or project-based learning, we empower students to learn in ways that resonate with them.
Building Leaders and Changemakers
KIPP Texas high schools are not just about academics—they’re about shaping future leaders. Students develop the skills and confidence needed to impact their communities through extracurricular activities, leadership programs, and service-learning projects. From competitive robotics teams that inspire innovation to nursing programs that prepare students for careers in healthcare, our schools offer a variety of opportunities for students to explore their passions. Some campuses even feature unique courses like video game design, where creativity and coding come together to spark new possibilities.
A Strong Support System
Every KIPPster’s journey is unique; we ensure they never walk alone. Our educators, counselors, and KIPP Forward advisors are dedicated to guiding students every step of the way. Beginning in 11th grade, students focus on creating a resume, preparing for the ACT and/or SAT, essay writing for college applications, data-driven college research, completing admissions applications to best-match and best-fit colleges, and completing scholarship and FAFSA applications. After high school, our advisors continue to assist alumni through their first year of college. Whether through mentorship, alumni networking, or career guidance, we’re committed to empowering our graduates to lead choice-filled lives.
At KIPP Texas, high school isn’t just preparation for the future—it’s a transformative experience that equips students with the skills, knowledge, and support they need to thrive. We are proud of our Little KIPPsters and can’t wait to see their impact on the world.
