KIPP DC - Discover Academy PCS

Open Since 2009-10 Grades PK3 - K
At Discover Academy, teachers and families work collaboratively nurture and guide our students’ creativity, knowledge and sense of self. We support the needs of the whole child by pairing strong instruction with social emotional learning. Our classrooms are productive and filled with outrageous love for little KIPPsters. KIPPsters at Discover Academy leave with the foundational academic skills and mindsets that are necessary for success in rigorous and joyful elementary schools. Upon completion of Kindergarten, Discover Academy students move onto KIPP DC Heights Academy.
