We are KIPP Public Schools

We believe every student walks through the doors of our school bearing gifts. Talent. Perspective. Drive. Inspiration. So at KIPP Detroit Public Schools, we support every student to see those gifts, then build the skills and confidence they need to pursue their highest aspirations.

KIPP Detroit Imani Academy is a Detroit-founded and Detroit-led school committed to a future without limits for kids in the Cody Rouge community. We are welcoming our first class of 100 kindergarten students in the fall of 2022. We look forward to being part of their journey from K-12 to college, career and beyond!

Our Mission

Together with families and communities, we create joyful, academically excellent schools that prepare students with the skills and confidence to pursue the paths they choose—college, career, and beyond—so they can lead fulfilling lives and build a more just world.

KIPP Forward

At KIPP Detroit, we are making a lifelong commitment to your child’s education. While the journey begins in kindergarten, we promise to be with you and your child K-12, college, career and beyond.

Through KIPP Forward, we’re supporting students to choose and prepare for the educational and career path that fits their goals and sense of purpose. Our KIPP Forward Team helps alumni keep moving forward while pursuing their dreams.

At the national level, KIPP has created college partnerships with the institutions that share our belief that a student’s zip code and family income should not dictate their future.

Partner universities commit to not only admitting KIPP students, but also providing critical resources once those students are on campus to ensure that the students remain on track for a college degree. Current KIPP college partners include Vanderbilt University, Spelman College, Franklin and Marshall College, Colby College, and many more.
