About the school
The Knowledge and Power Preparatory Academy (KAPPA) was molded after KIPP Charter School, in partnership with Replications, Inc., which was founded by John Elwell. KAPPA is a college preparatory school that provides its scholars with a rigorous education in all academic subjects. Eighth grade students are given the opportunity to take the Living Environment Regents, Algebra I Regents, and the U.S. History and Government Regents. Our scholars are given opportunities to participate in the annual Top Scholar Tour. This special program is designed to expose students to higher education opportunities, domestic and international travel, historical landmarks and cultural institutions. Our scholars participate in academic competitions such as: annual Spelling Bee, annual KAPPA Math Competition, Pi5NY Math Competition, annual STEM Fair and local art competitions. We also host special events such as: KAPPA Homecoming, School Spirit Night, Carnival Night, KAPPAlympics, and March Madness. We facilitate school service activities such as Chef-Boy-Ar-Dee Day, toy drives, water drives, coat drives and other community-based projects. We are dedicated to preparing our scholars to being "Tomorrow's global leaders, innovators, and problem solvers who embrace diversity."
