KIPP Minnesota Public Schools

ABOUT KIPP MN

KIPP MN launched in 2008 and is affiliated with the National KIPP Foundation, which consists of over 280 public charter schools across the country. In the 2022-23 school year, we will educate approximately 450 K-8 students at two North Minneapolis campuses: KIPP North Star (K-8) and KIPP Legacy (K-5). KIPP MN’s 100 full-time staff—including an educator team that is 70% BIPOC*—educates a student body that is 99% BIPOC, 92% who receive free and reduced lunches, and 15% who have experienced homelessness or housing mobility. As a network dedicated to delivering educational excellence to under-resourced communities, we see students emerge as leaders ready to pursue their chosen path.

OUR MISSION

Together with families and communities, we create joyful, academically excellent schools that prepare students with the skills and confidence to pursue the paths they choose—college, career, and beyond—so they can lead fulfilling lives and build a more just world.
