Academics

 

KIPP Delta Collegiate is committed to preparing all students for college. In an effort to ensure that this becomes a reality for all of our students, we have a rigorous curriculum aligned with both state and national standards.


Mathematics
Students at KIPP Delta Collegiate take four years of mathematics instruction, ranging from Algebra I and II, Geometry, Pre-Calculus, to Advanced Placement Calculus. Mathematics classes are taught with a focus not only on the state mandated testing, but also on preparing students to take college-level advanced placement classes in their junior and senior years.

English
KIPP Delta Collegiate students receive daily English instruction, with emphasis placed on both reading and writing. Students read a variety of novels (both fiction and non-fiction), plays, shorter essays, and poetry and analyze both the content and structure of these literary works. College level advanced placement classes are also offered in English.

Science
At KIPP Delta Collegiate, Science classes teach the content knowledge necessary to master the specific subject alongside the skills necessary to thrive in college level science courses. In classes like Biology, Chemistry, Physics, as well as advanced placement courses, students apply their knowledge to laboratory experiments on a weekly basis.

Social Studies
Social Studies classes at KIPP Delta Collegiate are a unique way for students to make connections across and between periods in history. In civics, world history, US history, and advanced placement history courses, the students are constantly reading and analyzing both primary sources as well as historical novels. Social Studies classes emphasize the skills students will need in college, with students engaging in original research projects that culminate in written papers.

Electives

Students have the opportunity to take classes at Phillips Community College while earning college credit. Classes offered at PCC include Criminal Justice, Medical Terminology, and Computer Engineering. In addition to these courses, students have the opportunity to engage in electives such as journalism, art, music, and business.
