Where Learning Sparks Joy!
KIPP Texas Public Schools is a free public charter school network of more than 45 schools serving over 32,000 Pre-K–12 students across Texas. We are open to all students and provide a high-quality education built on joyful learning, positive community, and college preparation.
Now Accepting Student Applications for the 2026-27 School Year!
Our student lottery will take place on February 2, 2026. In order to participate in the lottery, families must submit their application by January 26, 2026. All applications received after January 26 will still be accepted but will be placed on the waitlist in the order they are received.
If you are a current KIPP Texas family, you do not need to submit a new application for the upcoming school year unless it is for a sibling not currently enrolled at KIPP Texas. Families of current students will follow the re-enrollment process in the spring.
A School and a Community
At KIPP Texas, our students, families, teachers, and staff create a community we call Team & Family. Through this community, our students are supported in every step of their education journey, including college, career, and beyond!
The most valuable educational experience for any student comes from caring for the “whole child” – their academics, their well-being, their unique gifts, their joy, their safety, their entire family, and experiences. We are focused on creating schools where students feel brave, have a strong sense of belonging, and feel prepared to pursue post-secondary success.
Academic Excellence
Our schools provide a high-quality education built on academic success and personal growth. College preparation for every KIPPster is our priority. Our schools strive to create a well-rounded student experience, empowering students to pursue any path they choose based on their goals and interests.

We work to create environments where students can form deep, supportive, and lasting relationships and provide diverse opportunities for each student to shine. We believe every student walks through the doors of school bearing gifts… Talent. Perspective. Drive. Inspiration… We support and elevate those gifts, so students build the skills and confidence they need to thrive.
