Mission and Vision
Our mission
Together with families and communities, we create joyful, academically excellent schools that prepare scholars 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.
Our vision
Every child grows up free to create the future they want for themselves and their communities.
Our Approach
We prepare every scholar for college and celebrate all paths to a fulfilling life. What makes KIPP Tulsa unique? We focus on:
High Expectations
KIPP maintains high expectations for academic achievement. 100% of our scholars demonstrate growth in reading and math every year, even as most enter 1-2 grade levels behind. By maintaining high expectations, we build grit and confidence as scholars witness their progress over time.
Character
We help scholars foster the social and emotional skills essential for their success and well-being. Beyond the classroom, scholars take part in extracurricular activities like band, sports, gardening, and debate team.
Healthy, Structured, and Nurturing Environments
Our schools provide a healthy, structured, and nurturing environment so that our scholars thrive and maximize their learning.
Highly Effective Teachers & Leaders
