Company Description
Our Mission
The mission of all of KIPP Massachusetts schools is to create an
environment where students develop the academic skills,
intellectual habits and character traits necessary to maximize
their potential in high school, college and the world beyond. Our
program is based on:
What We Do
We seek to provide a world-class education for students from
educationally underserved communities in Lynn and Boston. Our
student demographics mirror those of neighborhood schools in terms
of race, socioeconomic status, Multilingual Learners (MLL), and
students who receive special education services.
Our promise to families is that their children will enter college
and the professional world able to thrive academically due to their
literacy, numeracy, and core knowledge in science and social
studies. We also promise that our students will develop the zest
for learning and grit necessary to persevere as they climb the
mountain to and through college and career. Our graduates will be
prepared to return to their community as teachers, leaders, and
architects of continued growth in Lynn and Boston.
Our Diversity, Equity and Inclusivity Vision
At KIPP Massachusetts, we believe that Knowledge is Power. Every
day, our team and family have the opportunity to either perpetuate
systems of oppression or disrupt them. We are compelled by the
ideals of diversity, equity, and inclusivity. Therefore, we
continuously commit to operating as an anti-racist organization.

Who We Are
KIPP Massachusetts began enrolling students in 2004. We currently
hold two charters, operating two "districts." Our first district,
KIPP Academy Lynn Charter School, is based in Lynn, MA. Our second
district, KIPP Academy Boston Charter School, is based in Mattapan,
MA. Each district is housed on one or more "campuses," which we use
to refer to different grade spans, for example, elementary grades,
middle school grades, or high school grades.
In Lynn, KIPP Academy Lynn Elementary (serving grades K-4), KIPP
Academy Lynn Middle (serving grades 5-8), and KIPP Academy Lynn
Collegiate (serving grades 9-12), are all under our Lynn charter.
Admission to any grade in the Lynn district is admission to all
remaining grades in the Lynn district K-12. 66% of our students in
Lynn are Hispanic, 23% are African American and 11% are other
races/ethnicities.
In Boston, KIPP Academy Boston Elementary (serving grades K-4), and
KIPP Academy Boston (serving grades 5-8), are both under our Boston
charter. Admission to any grade in the Boston district is admission
to all remaining grades in the Boston district, K-8. 68% of our
students in Boston are African American, 30% are Hispanic and 2%
are other races/ethnicities.
Across both districts, KIPP Massachusetts serves over 2,200
students.
KIPP National
KIPP Massachusetts partners with the KIPP Foundation, or KIPP
National, which is a non-profit national network of
college-preparatory public charter schools serving elementary,
middle and high school students. KIPP National has a 25-year track
record of preparing our students in educationally underserved
communities for success in college and life.
There are 242 KIPP schools in 20 states plus the District of
Columbia educating over 100,000 students on their path to and
through college and career. We believe that excellent academic,
safe and structured schools, empowered teachers, an emphasis on
character development and support through college are the
foundation for student success, and we strive to provide this for
every student.
All KIPP schools, whether they are in Massachusetts or in other
states, are part of the free public school system in their
respective states and enrollment is open to all students. KIPP
public charter schools are given more academic and budgetary
flexibility than traditional public schools, and in exchange commit
to deliver high-quality academic results for students.
