The Kauffman School was founded in 2011 by the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation in support of the Foundation’s mission to advance educational achievement among our nation's youth. It represents a substantial commitment to continue the Foundation's legacy of providing the best educational opportunities for students in Kansas City’s urban core. The mission of this rigorous college preparatory school in Kansas City, Mo., is to prepare students to excel academically, graduate from college, and apply their unique talents in the world to create economically independent and personally fulfilling lives. The school's design is based on inspiring examples of charter schools throughout the country that are helping urban students achieve at very high academic levels.
