KIPP Newark’s K classrooms offer strong academics, a nurturing environment, and a lot of fun! Join Aloni for a day in her life at KIPP Seek Academy.

Through internships, opportunities to earn valuable college credits while still in high school, and summer programs at top-ranked universities, students are well-prepared and supported in their college journeys. KIPP Forward’s career-readiness programming offers students the opportunity to learn valuable skills like writing a resume, mock interviews, and more.

KIPP Newark alumni are 3x more likely to graduate from college. A 2023 study by Mathematica showed that KIPP middle and high school students are 31% more likely to complete college than their peers who did not attend KIPP. The study found the effect was great enough to nearly close college completion gap between Black and Hispanic students and their peers.

KIPP New Jersey Public Schools are free and serve all students regardless of special needs, past attendance, grades, or any other factor. There is no test to get in; admission is via Newark’s Common App.

Our schools offer rich extracurricular programs. From athletics teams and dance classes, to photography or robotics club, our students are encouraged to discover their passions, connect to their communities and become lifelong learners.

Sometimes the best learning comes from the social skills gained by interacting with the people around you. Longer school days mean more opportunities for culture and activities such as sports, reading, technology, after school clubs and more.

We are part of KIPP, which has been around since 1994 and is the largest group of charter schools in the country. What that means is we get to share best practices to learn from each other and our long history. Each school we open makes us better equipped to meet the needs of all children.

Our schools partner with community organizations to offer comprehensive wraparound services for students and families including mental and social emotional support services, after school programming, grocery distribution, family engagement events and more.
