Starting Friday afternoon, we served at KIPP Endeavor Academy, a Charter school, in Kansas City. Through their preparatory program, KIPP motivates their middle schoolers to attend college. So far, we have served KIPP by talking to parents about enrolling their kids and cataloging books to help them start their library system. We can’t wait to serve more tomorrow!

“KIPP Endeavor is reinventing how schools should be run. Students have extrinsic and intrinsic motivation to succeed in school. The passion the students and teachers share is exciting and contagious. I will forever be thankful for this experience.”

“One extraordinary part of KIPP Endeavor is how their students greet each of their guests. Every classroom door we knocked on had a designated greeter that came out to introduce himself or herself, explain exactly what they were learning, and asked us why we were visiting their school. It was highly impressive to see the school instilling this communication skill at such a young age.”

“KIPP Academy is the most welcoming school that I have ever been at and when you walk in the door every single person has a smile on their face, ready to greet you. Their focus on wanting every child to succeed and pushing them to do the best that they can is a school-wide challenge that every student is prepared for. The students know their expectations and do what they can, to be the best that they can.”

“Every classroom focuses on 10 Power Standards to help guide the students on what they should accomplish by the end of year. The students have cards on the wall that display the standards they have mastered and the standards they are still working on. I really love that KIPP does this because it empowers students to take ownership over their education. Instead of learning blindly, KIPP students know exactly where they are and where they are going.”

“KIPP Endeavor is actively working to expand their campus to serve more students. In the fall, they will grow to include K-4 grades on their middle school campus. The amount of growth that KIPP: KC is experiencing will serve more kids of low-income families in the community, a very significant step in urban education. In addition to adding more grades, the school is working on building their library system. As of right now, classroom libraries are the only option. Hopefully within the next few years, KIPP Endeavor will be able to serve even more kids from all over Kansas City to prepare them for college.”
