Located in Newark’s Central Ward, NCP continues the tradition of excellence started by KIPP TEAM, Rise, and BOLD Academies as KIPP New Jersey’s newest middle school. Currently serving students in grades 5-7, NCP will grow to serve students in grades 5-8. At NCP, teachers are given a large amount of freedom to figure out what works best for kids, and make it happen in their classrooms. Every day, we help students develop the knowledge, skills, and character strengths they need to succeed throughout their education and in the competitive world beyond.
