What if you were part of a team committed to seeing him go to and through college?

At KIPP, we don’t measure success by test scores alone, but by the number of students who are achieving their dreams in college and beyond. With a goal that big, we need educators and staff who have the motivation, drive, compassion, and commitment to ensure that all students reach their full potential.

The mission of KIPP Metro Atlanta Schools is to equip students with the academic skills, scholarly habits, and character traits necessary to be successful in top quality colleges and the competitive world beyond. We partner with local school districts in metro Atlanta to not only increase the number of college graduates, but also to change the mindset of what is possible in public education. We do so by investing in the growth and development of students, teachers, and school leaders. We currently operate seven schools in metro Atlanta including four middle schools, one high school, and two elementary schools. Our third elementary school will open in 2014. By 2018, we will operate eight schools serving approximately 3,300 students.

KIPP Metro Atlanta is part of the growing network of KIPP (Knowledge is Power Program) schools across the nation with a track record of preparing students in underserved communities for success in college and in life. There are 141 KIPP schools in 20 states and the District of Columbia serving more than 50,000 students.

KIPP Metro Atlanta’s schools are free, open-enrollment public charter schools. Admission is granted to students regardless of prior academic record, conduct, or socioeconomic background. If there are more interested students and families for which we have space, a random lottery is conducted for admission.

What if everyone had the same expectations?

Imagine if the high expectations that you held

in your classroom were also the norm in every

other teacher’s classroom. Imagine a school where

teachers collaborate and share best practices.

Imagine a staff that is unified in doing what’s

best for students, and a leadership team that has an

open mind for new ideas.
