College begins in kindergarten

KIPP Jacksonville Elementary is part of the free public school system and enrollment is open to all students. We prepare students with the knowledge, skills, habits, and character for success in college and life. Integral to the school’s program are its core values: cultural awareness, curiosity, and citizenship. KIPP Jacksonville Elementary is the newest KIPP Jacksonville School. Since opening in 2015, the school has grown to serve grades K-3. KIPP Jacksonville Elementary will continue to add one grade level each year.
