• A high regard for character development to ensure that our students and staff celebrate and develop their character and identity strengths.
• An emphasis on family engagement, because we believe that our students are most likely to be able to maximize their potential when we work in partnership with our students and their families.
• A focus on college readiness for all students so that all students can make choices about their post‑secondary education and future.

We seek to provide a world‑class education for students from educationally underserved communities in Lynn and Boston. Our student demographics mirror those of neighborhood schools in terms of race, socioeconomic status, Multilingual Learners (MLL), and students who receive special education services. Our promise to families is that their children will enter college and the professional world able to thrive academically due to their literacy, numeracy, and core knowledge in science and social studies.

We also promise that our students will develop the zest for learning and grit necessary to persevere as they climb the mountain to and through college and career. Our graduates will be prepared to return to their community as teachers, leaders, and architects of continued growth in Lynn and Boston.

KIPP Massachusetts began enrolling students in 2004. We currently hold two charters, operating two “districts.” Our first district, KIPP Academy Lynn Charter School, is based in Lynn, MA. Our second district, KIPP Academy Boston Charter School, is based in Mattapan, MA. Each district is housed on one or more “campuses,” which we use to refer to different grade spans, for example, elementary grades, middle school grades, or high school grades.

Admission to any grade in the Lynn district is admission to all remaining grades in the Lynn district K‑12. 74 % of our students in Lynn are Hispanic, 15 % are Black, 3 % are multiracial, 5 % White, and 4 % Asian.
In Boston, KIPP Academy Boston (serving grades K‑8) is under our Boston charter. Admission to any grade in the Boston district is admission to all remaining grades in the Boston district K‑8. 36 % of our students in Boston are Hispanic, 59 % are Black, 3 % are multiracial,…
