We are committed to providing a high-quality education that prepares students for success in college, career, and life.

At KIPP KC, every student belongs, every voice matters, and every future is full of possibility.
Now Accepting Student Applications
for the 2026-27
School Year!
If more students apply than there are available seats in a grade, a random, computer-generated lottery will be used to determine seat offers. Families will receive lottery results by email, and results will also be available on your SchoolAppKC Dashboard. If your child is offered a seat, you’ll have time to decide whether to accept it. Please note that accepting a seat at one school will automatically decline offers from other schools, but your child will remain on any waitlists.
Applications submitted after the lottery will be considered for any remaining open seats or placed on grade-level waitlists, with priority given to siblings.
