At KIPP Change Academy, we commit to developing the whole child through culturally responsive teaching that cultivates confidence and a positive self-identity. We believe that self-efficacy leads to creativity, risk taking, and critical thinking. Students will believe they can grow their character and intellect. These skills will provide our students the opportunity to make a profound impact in their community and world at large. What makes KCA special: • More time learning (8 to 4 p.m.) • Daily small-groups in math and reading • High expectations for behavior and academic success • KIPP Through College program supports kids from K through college graduation • Free transportation • Computer Science (coding class) • Project-based and service learning opportunities
