Now Accepting Student Applications
for the 2025-26
School Year!
Our student lottery will take place on March 14, 2025, at 4:00 PM. To be included in the lottery, families must submit their application by March 1, 2025. Applications received after this date will still be accepted but will be placed on the waitlist in the order they are received.
If you are a current KIPP KC family, you do not need to submit a new application for the upcoming school year unless you are applying for a sibling not currently enrolled at KIPP KC. Families of current students will follow the re-enrollment process in the spring.
