KIPP Camino Academy provides students with a rigorous, college-preparatory education. We offer an extended day, week and year, giving our students more time in core classes such as math, reading, science, and social studies. It also provides time for the curriculum to be supplemented with other extra-curricular activities and community service opportunities.

In addition to an extended school day, students can anticipate approximately 90 minutes of homework each night. Teachers carry cell phones and students can call them for help with the homework in the evenings and weekends if needed.

KIPP Camino Academy combines Texas’s state standards with the pedagogical methodologies that have proven successful at other high performing schools.

Standards-based academic objectives are mastered at each grade level as students move through the curriculum at KIPP Camino Academy. Teachers use data to determine student needs and work with the school leader to supplement the curriculum with their own innovations, research, and expertise accordingly.

Character

In addition to academic skills, at KIPP Camino Academy we work to develop the study skills and character strengths necessary for our students to be successful in college and beyond. To promote this development teachers implement a school wide behavior management system, lead daily advisory groups, and model the team and family values.

KIPP Camino students are organized into groups for daily Advisory Periods to continue the important work of developing character and organizing service learning activities that benefit our city. The KIPP Camino faculty will serve as student mentors and service learning coordinators for their groups.
