Since 2002, TEAM Schools has been preparing Newark's students for success in college and life beyond. Today, 83% of alumni have matriculated to college and over 1,500 students are in our four schools preparing to follow in their footsteps.
This year’s TEAM annual report tracks KIPP’s “Six Essential Questions” – carefully examining how our schools are doing on everything from serving kids who need us,
to supporting them to and through college.
Please help us continue to build on our success to date – enjoy our annual report
(above) and the videos (below), spread the word, and donate to our schools today.

Two ways to support TEAM Schools
With your help, we've sent 83% of our alumni to college. Make a donation today so that we can open more schools and one day double the college graduation rate in Newark.
1. Make a donation to our new elementary school, THRIVE Academy (opening Fall 2012)

TEAM has nearly 6,000 students on our waitlists, so we're opening a fifth school, THRIVE Academy, in 2012. Help support THRIVE! Sponsor the opening of a new classroom. Every $25,000 we raise will help us open one more classroom.
2. Directly support a classroom project
Our teachers are always going above and beyond in thinking of new ways to better educate their students and provide greater opportunities beyond just academics. Click a link below to learn more about and support a classroom project.
