About

KIPP Delta Public Schools is a network of tuition-free, public charter schools in the Arkansas Delta. Our five schools are open to all students who reside within Arkansas.

Build a Better Tomorrow

At KIPP, we believe every child should grow up free to create the future they want for themselves and their communities.

Our Approach

KIPP Delta Public Schools is dedicated to doing whatever it takes to help students be successful in school, college, career, and life. Students have a longer school day and attend Saturday school quarterly throughout the year to provide more time for learning. Students frequently stay after school for tutoring and are able to contact their teachers by phone for help with homework.

Through KIPP Forward, we’re supporting students to choose and prepare for the educational and career paths that fit their goals and sense of purpose. Once on their way, KIPP advisors help alumni keep moving forward, tackling academic, social, and financial challenges they might encounter while pursuing their dreams.

We continue this work while being held to high standards for academic results and financial discipline by our Board of Directors, KIPP Foundation, and the state of Arkansas.
