About this Event
One building. One community. One college-prep journey from kindergarten through 8th grade.
At KIPP STAR Harlem College Preparatory, we don't just prepare students for the next grade — we prepare them for college and beyond. And it all happens under one roof in the heart of West Harlem.
Join us for a school tour every Tuesday and Friday and experience the full KIPP STAR Harlem College Preparatory journey. No appointment needed — just stop by anytime between 10:00 AM and 1:00 PM. Tour both our Elementary School (K–4) and Middle School (5–8) in a single visit, meet our teachers and school community, and see what it means to be a STARlemite.
Have siblings at different grade levels? This is the perfect opportunity to see both schools together — and discover how your children can grow in the same building, supported by a school community that can be part of their journey from kindergarten through 8th grade.
