Enrollment

KIPP Colorado Schools are open-enrollment, free public charter schools for students that offer an academically rigorous, college preparatory curriculum. In addition to extra learning time—amounting to 60% more than in traditional school settings—KIPP students benefit from an outstanding nutrition and fitness program, engagement in community service, leadership training, and participation in a wide variety of arts and cutural activities.

The process for enrollment at KIPP schools is one of self-selection. Students are not screened based on past behavior or academic success.  The only requirement for admittance is a commitment from the student and his or her parents to work hard and adhere to the Commitment to Excellence agreement.  KIPP’s goals for future college success focus on three components: academic skills, intellectual habits, and character traits.
