KIPP NORTHEAST DENVER LEADERSHIP ACADEMY (KNDLA) is a public charter high school serving the Far Northeast Denver community as part of the KIPP Colorado network. The school is built on the core KIPP philosophy of providing a college-preparatory education with a strong emphasis on character development, academic rigor, and individualized support. KNDLA focuses on creating a "leadership" culture, aiming to equip students—many of whom will be the first in their families to attend college—with the tools, habits, and mindsets necessary to succeed in higher education and their future professional careers.

The school is known for its extended school day and year, which allows for additional instructional time and a variety of extracurricular opportunities. KNDLA places a high premium on community involvement and building strong relationships between students, families, and staff, often utilizing a small-school environment to ensure that every student is well-known and supported. By prioritizing both academic achievement and social-emotional growth, the academy seeks to prepare its graduates to not only navigate the challenges of college but to eventually return to their communities as leaders and changemakers.
