Our Values

Create – Love – Inquire – Make it happen – Be the change

The KIPP Ascend Primary values are the actions that help our students visualize and live our mission. Our values spell CLIMB; students must live the five values to overcome challenges, accomplish their goals and CLIMB the mountain to and through college. Implementation of the values allows teachers and students to have a common language around high academic and behavior expectations.

Our Mission

Our mission drives the vision we have for our students as they grow from kindergartners to fifth graders. Our student vision focuses on the three themes of our mission: academics, character, and community. To ensure that our young students understand these broad themes, we break academics, character, and community into five teachable competencies; KIPP Ascend Primary students are learners, artists, leaders, teammates, and empowered citizens. As we use the five competencies to develop our students, we prepare each of our fourth graders with the academic, character and community engagement skills needed to fulfill our mission.

Our Learners

All students at KIPP Ascend Primary are learners; they prepare for college and the competitive world through a rigorous, standards-based educational program delivered in a nurturing, positive, and joyful learning environment. The faculty at KIPP Ascend Primary engages in data-driven instruction that leads all students to a high level of skill mastery within a culture of positive support and active engagement. Using a response-to-intervention model, all students receive the academic support they need to succeed in an environment of high expectations. The faculty and students of KIPP Ascend Primary realize this instructional vision by implementing our six building blocks of excellent instruction.

KIPP Ascend Feeder Pattern

From kindergarten through 8th grade, KIPP Chicago schools are designed to grow with your child. At KIPP Ascend Primary, students build a strong foundation that prepares them for success in middle school and beyond.

After completing 4th grade, KIPPsters continue their education at KIPP Ascend Middle School, where the relationships and values built in elementary school carry forward. Teachers are familiar with each student’s strengths, creating a smooth transition into the next phase of learning and growth.

Together, KIPP Ascend Primary and KIPP Ascend Middle School create one continuous K–8 experience that nurtures curiosity, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning.
