KIPP DC Discover Academy, located at our Douglass Campus, educates children in grades Preschool through Kindergarten. Our early childhood schools prepare students with the foundational academic skills and mindsets that are necessary for success in rigorous and joyful elementary schools. At KIPP DC, we commit to providing students with academic excellence, joy and sense of belonging, highly effective teachers and leaders, safe and nurturing learning environments, and a commitment to college readiness. Upon completion of kindergarten, Discover Academy students move onto KIPP DC Heights Academy on the same campus.
