KIPP North Star Elementary & Middle School is a tuition-free K-8 public charter school in North Minneapolis that was founded in 2008. Our belief is that each child comes into our school bearing gifts and talents, so our educators and staff strive to support them in building the skills and confidence they need to thrive.
