Growing Leaders! ⚖️🌟

We are incredibly proud to announce that eight of our outstanding 8th grade scholars have been selected to participate in the prestigious Law and Leadership Institute (LLI) this year!

The Law and Leadership Institute prepares students from urban districts for post-secondary and professional success through rigorous year-round programming focused on law, leadership, analytical thinking, and writing. This is an incredible opportunity for our scholars to gain hands-on experience, connect with legal professionals, and cultivate the skills necessary to become the changemakers of tomorrow.

Please join us in celebrating these eight dedicated 8th grade students for stepping up to this challenge and representing our KIPP community so well. We cannot wait to see all that you accomplish! 💼✨

At KIPP Columbus, we believe every student deserves the opportunity to build a future filled with opportunity and choice.

Last weekend, the Class of 2026 took another step toward that future as they crossed the graduation stage surrounded by family, friends, teachers, and a community that has believed in them every step of the way.

These photos capture more than a celebration—they represent years of hard work, perseverance, growth, and the collective commitment of a community. As our graduates begin their next chapter, we are confident they will continue to pursue their dreams, create new opportunities, and shape lives of purpose and possibility.

Congratulations, Class of 2026. We are so proud of you, and we cannot wait to see where your journey takes you. 🎓💙💚

Exciting milestone at KIPP Columbus! ♟️

Last week, we hosted our inaugural Middle School Chess Tournament, fostering critical thinking, patience, and strategic problem-solving among our scholars.

A special thank you to Kathy Lin, Executive Director of the Columbus Chess Academy and a respected National Tournament Director, for serving as our arbiter and helping create such an authentic tournament experience for our students. Partnerships like these help ensure our KIPPsters have access to enriching opportunities and inspiring community leaders who expand what they believe is possible.

Congratulations to all of our participants who stepped up to the board with confidence, perseverance, and sportsmanship. We are so proud of you! ♟️👏
