FAQ's

• Are you still enrolling students for the current 2020-21 school year?

Currently, all of our KIPP Jacksonville schools are fully enrolled. However, as spots open up throughout the school year, we will continue to call off of the existing grades waiting lists between now and February 2021.

  Yes; please complete a new student application for any new students you want to attend KIPP next year. Your student will still stay on the current 2020-21 waiting list.

• Multiple schools offer the grade level my child will be in. Can I preference which school I want my child to attend?

  Yes- the application will prompt you to rank the schools in order of preference for the next 2021-22 school year. While we will work hard to honor your preference, a spot at that school or campus is not guaranteed.

• How will you know how many RETURNING spots you have in each grade at each KIPP Jacksonville school for next year?

  In January 2021, we will ask our current families to both re-commit for next year AND their preference of schools. Our current families will have priority placement between schools and campuses.
