Mission
Our Mission:
Together with our families and communities, we create joyful and identity‑affirming schools where students achieve excellent and equitable academic outcomes. We believe doing this ensures that our students are prepared to pursue any path they choose — college, career, and beyond — so they can lead fulfilling lives and build a more just world.
- A focus on high‑quality instruction supported by rigorous professional development to ensure that our students develop the academic skills necessary to pursue the life they choose.
- A high regard for character development to ensure that our students and staff celebrate and develop their character and identity strengths.
- An emphasis on family engagement, because we believe that our students are most likely to be able to maximize their potential when we work in partnership with our students and their families.
- A focus on college readiness for all students so that all students can make choices about their post‑secondary education and future.
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.
Who We AreKIPP 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 located in Mattapan, MA.
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. In Boston, KIPP Academy Boston (serving grades K‑8) is under our Boston charter.
Admission to any grade in the Boston district is admission to all remaining grades in the Boston district K‑8.
Across both districts, we serve over 2,200 students.
KIPP FoundationKIPP Massachusetts partners with the KIPP Foundation, a non‑profit national network of college‑preparatory public charter schools. The KIPP Network has a 30+ year track record of preparing our students in educationally underserved communities for success in college and life.
