How to enroll

"The faculty (at KIPP LEAD) is not asking children to redefine themselves but rather assisting them to expand their personal identification to gain a greater awareness of that which they really are and can become in their families, schools, future and the world." - Barbara Cope, Gary Educational Development Foundation and KIPP LEAD Board Member
