With over 1,800 students across our schools in Southwest and Far Northeast Denver and 500+ alumni, KIPP Colorado focuses its programming on three major contributors to student success: rigorous academics, strong character development, and our KIPP Through College program, which prepares students for acceptance to, and ultimate success in, college.
