Founded in August 2023 and now part of the KIPP NJ network of schools, KIPP Paterson Prep Elementary offers an education built upon a joyful culture and commitment to excellence in reading and math. To equip learners with real-world skills, a social-emotional and character development program is intentionally woven throughout our curriculum. Our safe and structured classrooms ensure every student can focus on building both confidence and community.

Our mission at Paterson Prep is to help students grow intellectually, socially and physically into scholars andseekers of good character and spirit who are well-prepared to excel in college and in life.
