Academics
At KIPP DC Innovate, we are committed to providing a rigorous, engaging, and personalized academic experience that prepares students to think critically, create boldly, and innovate in the world around them. Our curriculum is grounded in DC standards, aligned with the KIPP network’s high-quality instructional framework, and tailored to meet the individual needs of all learners.
Beyond core instruction in ELA, Math, Science, and Social Studies, we offer enriching opportunities that spark curiosity and creativity, including world languages, art, coding, and STEM integration. These experiences allow students to explore their passions, develop essential 21st-century skills, and become problem solvers and innovators in their communities.
Through intentional, student-centered learning, we empower our students to not only master academic content but also to apply their knowledge in meaningful ways—igniting and empowering the future of learning.
Student Schedule at KIPP DC Innovate
At KIPP DC Innovate, our students in grades 5-8 engage in a dynamic and structured virtual learning experience from 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM. Each day begins with Advisory, where students connect in small groups with staff to set goals and ground themselves for a successful day.
Students then transition into core instruction in ELA, Math, Science, Social Studies, and Enrichment, along with targeted small group sessions in ELA and Math. These small groups provide personalized intervention or enrichment based on individual learning needs. The day concludes with a Closing Circle, fostering reflection and community, followed by tutoring or enrichment opportunities tailored to each student’s academic journey.
Our schedule is intentionally designed to provide targeted, differentiated instruction, ensuring every student receives the support and challenge needed to make meaningful academic progress and reach their individual learning goals.
Virtual Classroom
At KIPP DC Innovate, every student receives a Chromebook, headphones, and school supplies—ensuring they’re fully equipped to thrive in a virtual setting. Live classes led by KIPP DC teachers create a welcoming space where students feel confident taking risks, thinking critically, and sharing their voices.
Students engage in collaborative group work, problem-solving, and receive regular feedback to deepen understanding and drive academic growth.
Our approach is designed to eliminate barriers, nurture curiosity, and build essential skills that prepare students for success—both in school and beyond.
