The program nurtures well-rounded critical thinkers who love learning, and at the same time enables them to master the California content standards.

Our guiding values are love, honor, integrity, and excellence.

Ways to Get Involved

Support - As a network of public charter schools, KIPP schools receive the majority of their funds from state and federal governments. However, KIPP offers much more than traditional schools, including an extended school day, week and year, field trips and extracurricular activities. To provide KIPP’s unique educational program, schools rely on support from community members, parents and local foundations.
