KIPP Miami

What KIPP Miami does

KIPP Miami is a nonprofit public charter school network serving 1,340+ students in grades K-8 across two tuition-free campuses in Liberty City, Miami-Dade County, Florida, operating as the Miami regional affiliate of the national KIPP (Knowledge Is Power Program) system under parent nonprofit KIPP TEAM & Family Schools, Inc. of Newark, NJ. Founded in 2018, the network runs KIPP Royalty Academy (K-4, 540 students) and KIPP Courage Academy (grades 5-8, 800 students) with an extended-day, college-preparatory instructional model and is expanding to five schools by August 2026 with the addition of KIPP Miami Technical High School, KIPP Legacy Elementary, and KIPP Legacy Middle.

The organization's technology stack is conventional K-12 edtech rather than proprietary: PowerSchool for student information management, Nutrislice for meal information, and blended-learning classroom approaches. Beyond core academics, KIPP Miami delivers special education, mental health, social-emotional learning, free meals and supplies, and the KIPP Forward alumni program that supports students through college and career. A dual-enrollment co-location with Miami Dade College on the North Campus enables high school students to take real college courses and earn credits before graduation.

Revenue derives from three streams: Florida per-pupil public charter funding, private foundation grants, and individual donations. There is no tuition or fees; enrollment is allocated by lottery when applicant demand exceeds available seats. The organization is governed by a Board of Directors and reports state school performance grades of C for 2023, 2024, and 2025.
