KIPP, a national network of public charter schools providing college preparatory education for students in underserved communities, currently serves local students at the elementary and middle school levels through its two DFW campuses, KIPP TRUTH Academy and KIPP Destiny Elementary, in southern Dallas.

The KIPP Through College program is designed to help KIPP DFW graduates navigate through high school and prepare for college beyond their days at KIPP. Learn more on the KIPP DFW website here: http://kippdfw.org/school-and-programs/kipp-through-college.
