In 2009, KIPP Inspire Academy opened with 80 fifth graders and one promise: that we would do whatever it takes to help our students climb the mountain to and through college. Seven years later, we continue to make-and keep-that promise, now serving nearly 960 students in four schools. With the support of our sponsor, Washington University in St. Louis, KIPP St. Louis eventually plans to serve more than 2,600 students in six schools. KIPP St. Louis enrolls students from every zip code in the city, and aims to bring the opportunity for quality education to those students living in areas without access to high-performing schools. Ninety-eight percent of our students are African-American, 96 percent qualify for free or reduced-price meals, and 13 percent qualify for special education services.

CORE VALUES: 1. Empowerment: Our community fosters a sense of forward, positive decision making, helping our students develop into leaders through making real choices based in their voices. By empowering them to design the world they want to live in, we assist them on their journey towards future success in college and careers. Jefferson Eagles move forward. CREATE 2. Responsiveness: Our community purposefully infuses expanded access points to learning in recognition of the fact that students of color have been miseducated and unfairly deprived of their right to a liberating education. By building both access and pathways to educational opportunities, we help build our students towards the best we can be. Jefferson Eagles pay attention. CONSIDER 3. Adaptability: Our community encourages students to take risks, learn from failure (“fail forward”), and design a better future using the tools they develop in our learning community. By helping all learners focus both inward and outward, we can transform ourselves and the systems that shape and define our experiences. Jefferson Eagles stay focused/don’t give up. GROW 4. Accountability: Our community takes responsibility for our behavior, both actively and passively. By holding each other accountable and repairing harm we may have caused, we recognize that each of us is more than the worst thing we have ever done. Jefferson Eagles fix their mistakes. ADJUST 5. Interconnectedness: Our community cultivates a positive community founded on trust, empathy, and mutual respect. By creating and implementing non-punitive but strong institutional supports, we ensure that individuals and the connections between them are strengthened as an outcome. Jefferson Eagles work with each other. COOPERATE
