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.
Your child’s journey to college and career readiness starts here—with an application! Check out this guide to our application process:
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!
Once enrolled, families can expect regular outreach and quick responses from teachers and school leaders, not just during report card season, but throughout the year to discuss student progress, share updates, and work together to support student growth.
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 reading, technology, after school clubs and more.
Applications are required for all interested students not currently enrolled at KIPP Paterson. You can create an account through our parent portal website to get started on an application.
Congratulations! Your child has been offered a seat at KIPP Paterson! Families will be notified by the new school within two weeks. In the meantime, please gather the required documents which may include:
Each year, our current families must confirm their plan to attend KIPP the following school year and update their contact information. The re-enrollment window opens in early May.
Over the summer our school hosts events to welcome students to the KIPP Paterson family. We’ll contact you directly with more information about event dates. It’s an opportunity for your child to meet their school leader and teacher, learn more about the school day, for parents/caregivers to complete any final forms, and have fun!
