The Five Pillars of KIPP
1. High Expectations. KIPP schools have clearly defined and measurable high
expectations for academic achievement and conduct that make no excuses based on
the students' backgrounds. Students, parents, teachers, and staff create and reinforce a
culture of achievement and support through a range of formal and informal rewards and
consequences for academic performance and behavior.
2. Choice & Commitment. Students, their parents, and the faculty of each KIPP
school choose to participate in the program. No one is assigned or forced to attend a
KIPP school. Everyone must make and uphold a commitment to the school and to each
other to put in the time and effort required to achieve success.
3. More Time. KIPP schools know that there are no shortcuts when it comes to
success in academics and life. With an extended school day, week, and year, students
have more time in the classroom to acquire the academic knowledge and skills that will
prepare them for competitive high schools and colleges, as well as more opportunities
to engage in diverse extracurricular experiences.
4. Power to Lead. The principals of KIPP schools are effective academic and
organizational leaders who understand that great schools require great school leaders.
They have control over their school budget and personnel. They are free to swiftly move
dollars or make staffing changes, allowing them maximum effectiveness in helping
students learn.
5. Focus on Results. KIPP schools relentlessly focus on high student performance
on standardized tests and other objective measures. Just as there are no shortcuts,
there are no excuses. Students are expected to achieve a level of academic performance that will enable them to succeed at the nation's best high schools and
colleges. Teachers will be provided consistent and constant professional development.
