KIPP Columbus Primary School

At KIPP Columbus Primary, our goal is to nurture the whole child, not just his or her academic goals. We focus on character, academic & social-emotional learning so our students can progress throughout their schooling as well-rounded, unique individuals. We are so excited for our new students coming into our new building and all the new families we will call our Team & Family!
