: Overview

KIPP: Inspire Academy is the first St. Louis school to be affiliated with the Knowledge is Power Program (KIPP) national network of charter schools.  Nationally, KIPP schools have a track record of inspiring significant academic gains that help place all children on a path to college. KIPP: Inspire Academy has brought this proud tradition to St. Louis.

: Our Mission

To inspire all students to develop the character and academic skills necessary to succeed in high school and college so that they can build a better tomorrow for themselves and us all.

: Our Sponsor

KIPP: Inspire Academy’s institutional sponsor is Washington University in St. Louis.  Civic leaders approached the University a few years ago encouraging Washington University to support a charter school. After extensive research, the university made a formal commitment to sponsor a KIPP school. The University has been highly active in its support of the school since KIPP: Inspire opened its doors in July of 2009.
