Our Mission
At KIPP Esperanza we ensure that all of our students are given the options and opportunities that they deserve. Our school has been designed to serve the needs of all our students and families. We will offer:
- Rigorous classes coupled with academic supports such as tutoring from highly trained and effective teachers.
- Socio-emotional learning and mental health counseling so that students continue building healthy social skills and relationships.
- College counseling for both families and students throughout high school and once in college to ensure that students not only enroll in college but to also graduate.
KIPP Esperanza students will have the skills and confidence needed to tackle whatever they choose to pursue after high school – in college or career.
