“A revolutionary new school system” A new school of choice that imposes high expectations, more time on tasks and focus on results. Our goal is simple, yet the responsibility is powerful: “To do whatever it takes to ensure that our students matriculate to college”
- Oprah Winfrey on KIPP schools
This may seem unusual for fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth grade students to be focused on college – particularly students from educationally, under-resourced communities. However, KIPP Tulsa students not only speak about college, they are beginning to recognize the depth of their own potential and exude a new found confidence. At KIPP Tulsa, a students' conversation within his/her own mind changes. The question is no longer, “if I attend college,” rather “which college do I want to attend?”
Today marks a unique and exciting chapter for education. KIPP Tulsa is a place where students enjoy learning, teachers enjoy teaching and take pleasure at getting better at what they're doing.
