We believe that if students are prepared for college, they’ll be prepared for anything. KTUP uses an AP for All curriculum, ensuring every student is taught to the same high bar. We use the ACT as a benchmark for college preparedness, and incorporate aligned standards into every academic lesson.

When you walk into a KTUP classroom, you’ll see students doing most of the talking—whether it’s ELA, math, or science. Our teachers and leaders are constantly refining their practice, with professional development opportunities happening daily, weekly, and quarterly.

When it comes time for students to choose their next steps after high school, we’re right there. Our KIPP Forward team meets with students throughout the year, exposing them to different college and career options through visits and fairs, as well as offering seminar classes and connecting students with internships. Even after our students leave us, we stay in touch with them and provide support as they continue on their pathways to college, career, and beyond.
