KIPP Capital Region

Happy Pride Month From KIPP Capital Region!

We celebrate the contributions, identities, and experiences of LGBTQIA+ individuals throughout our communities and across history. Pride Month traces its roots to advocacy efforts that expanded visibility and rights for LGBTQIA+ communities, including the historic Stonewall uprising in New York City.

One year after the Stonewall Inn uprising, LGBTQIA+ New Yorkers gathered for the Christopher Street Liberation Day March to commemorate the movement and advocate for equality. That gathering would later become recognized as the first New York City Pride March.

We invite you to join us in gathering and celebrating at BIPOC Pride. Learn more here: LINK

Smiles that say it all 😊
Today on National Smile Day, we're celebrating the joy, confidence, and brilliance of our KIPPsters across all seven schools. Each smile tells a story of growth, resilience, and the power of community.
From classrooms to hallways, these moments reflect what it means to lead with Joyful Excellence and to show up for one another every day. 💙
Keep smiling, keep shining - our community is brighter because of you.

A classroom full of readers is a classroom full of possibility 📚✨
Our KIPPsters have been diving into books across every genre — building strong literacy skills while discovering the joy, creativity, and confidence that reading can bring. We're so proud of these young readers and their love for learning!

A peek inside the classroom at KIPP Troy Prep Elementary🎨✨
Our KIPPsters recently explored the work of artist Diego Rivera and learned about his famous mural La Gran Tenochtitlan. Through this lesson, students discovered the importance of murals as storytelling tools, explored the history and culture surrounding Mexico City, and discussed why Rivera's work continues to have such a lasting impact today.
We love seeing our KIPPsters engage with art, history, and culture in ways that spark curiosity and meaningful conversations!

These girls don't just show up — they show OUT. 💪🏈
From the hustle on the field to the teamwork behind every play, our KIPPsters continue to lead with heart, joy, and determination every step of the way.

At KIPP Capital Region, we're hiring for regional positions that support all seven of our schools - driving impact, strengthening systems, and helping every KIPPster thrive.

We're looking for passionate, mission-driven leaders to join us across key areas, including talent recruitment, instructional leadership, operations, and community & communications. These roles play a critical part in advancing student outcomes and building strong, inclusive school communities.

If you're ready to grow your career while making an impact across multiple schools, we want to hear from you.

Congratulations Alanna! We’re so proud of you and all of your accomplishments! 🎉
