“We are proud to have KIPP as a partner in the We Rise initiative. By focusing on the advancement of education, we have set a standard for excellence and achievement that pushes others to strive for the best—for themselves, for their children and for their neighborhoods.”

KIPP Miami teachers are available by phone, text, or email throughout the day and into the evening so that parents can always get in touch and receive updates on their student’s progress.
KIPP Miami will continue to grow to educate students in all grades by 2029. Our support doesn’t end until their college graduation day. Our KIPP Through College team supports placing students in colleges that fit them, then supporting them through college.
School days are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday 7:45 am - 4:00 pm, and 7:00 am through 1:30 pm on Wednesday, in addition to select Saturday school. The school year runs from August to June.
We work with parents and community leaders to ensure our schools are community schools. As part of the We Rise Education Village, students will have access to extra-curricular activities with partner organizations.
Academics are important, but we also want our students to experience the arts, sports, and interest clubs. In class and in school, we work hard, but we have a lot of fun learning.
