A new KIPP Texas Public Schools campus at 14030 Florence Road, Sugar Land, began the 2020-21 school year virtually Aug. 24.

The new campus is home to two school buildings: a KIPP Journey Primary school for students in kindergarten and first grade and a KIPP Journey Collegiate school for students in fifth and sixth grade. Over time, the KIPP Journey program will grow so that students from pre-K through 12th grade will attend two schools on one campus.

The school plans to invite small groups of students to campus beginning Sept. 21 with the goal of fully phasing in in-person learning by Oct. 19 for those students who requested it. 832-392-2662 (Primary); 281-900-0490 (Collegiate). https://kipptexas.org/our-schools/houston/
