The school is notable for its extended school day and year, which are designed to provide students with more time for academic instruction and enrichment activities. KIPP Harmony strives to bridge the opportunity gap by fostering a culture of high expectations, clear behavioral standards, and a "college-preparatory" mindset from an early age.
