It may seem an unlikely partnership, but this pairing is making a difference in the world of education. BBVA Compass and KIPP Houston Public Schools cut the ribbon this month on the charter school system’s newest campus: the BBVA Compass Opportunity Campus, home of KIPP NEXUS Primary School and KIPP NEXUS Middle School in northwest Houston.
The campus, which welcomed its inaugural classes in the fall, is the first KIPP campus nationwide to share its name with a corporate investor. The new campus provides hundreds of seats in KIPP Houston, which currently has a waiting list of over 10,000.
