About Us

A School That Cultivates Your Child’s Academic Potential

For more than 20 years, KIP Academy, Inc. has been providing a non-traditional learning approach that allows students to learn at their own pace. We use a cutting-edge program that prepares children for exceptional educational success.

Who We Are

As of August of 2015, we offer the Georgia Pre-K Program. Our curriculum exposes children to innovative learning at age four and enhances the early stimulation of their desire to learn. This program also prepares them for academic success as they reach higher levels.

We have before- and after-school programs to K-5 students with an intense focus on homework assistance. Transportation services from Dekalb schools to our facility are also provided. Additionally, some recreational and fun academic activities are included and healthy snacks are served for the children.

Our Summer Curriculum

During summer vacation, we provide our Summer Enrichment Program. This includes weekly social, cultural, and educational field trips and on-site academic activities at an affordable cost. The newest addition to this program is the Seamless Summer Option. It allows us to extend free nutritious meal services for breakfast, lunch, and dinner to children, aged 18 and below when schools are not in session.

Meet Team KIP

We pride ourselves not only on providing the best curriculum choices for our families but also by having a fantastic team of professionals. Our teachers are experienced and highly qualified in their content areas. We are privileged to have them on board.

They simply need help learning how to do it!”
