About this school

KIPP DC Grow Academy, located at our Shaw Campus, educates children in grades Preschool through Kindergarten. Our early childhood schools build the foundational academic skills and confidence students need to thrive in elementary school and beyond. At KIPP DC, we believe students thrive when they are challenged academically, are part of a safe, nurturing school community where they experience joy and a strong sense of belonging, and are surrounded by highly effective teachers and leaders. We build on that foundation to prepare students for success in college, career, and whatever path they choose.
