Learn About Kansas City Signature Schools
Signature schools are tuition-free public schools and they are part of Kansas City Public Schools (KCPS). Each signature school has its own special theme, such as Montessori, language immersion, performing arts, or college prep and supports students with specialized interests. Signature schools are open to any student who lives in the KCPS boundaries, but they have admissions requirements that students must meet in order to apply. Applications are required and they have a limited number of seats which are filled through a lottery process after the application deadline. Students at most signature schools must maintain grade and attendance standards.
