KIPP Un Mundo Dual Language Academy – opened in 2012, KIPP Un Mundo Dual Language Academy is a school where children will become fluent in English and Spanish and perform at or above grade level when they arrive to middle school.

KIPP San Antonio is successful because of our approach to education that includes longer school days, one to two hours of homework each night, monthly Saturday sessions, summer sessions, community service, field lessons, and college visits earned through dedication and hard work. We set high expectations for our students to achieve, but they are not alone in the process. Teachers and staff are fully committed to working with and encouraging students to achieve academic success with a focus on college admission. Our teachers are available by cell phone after school hours to provide help with homework as part of our “no excuses” policy. Our commitment to our students starts on their first day of school and continues through college and beyond.
