About

KIPP Summit Academy (KSA) is a free public middle school founded for historically underserved students and families in and around San Lorenzo, CA.  At KSA, we define ourselves by our commitment to learning and the high academic and behavioral standards we hold for every member of our learning community. We have built a “team and family” centered culture based on clear, school-wide expectations for student behavior and a commitment to embodying four core values: responsibility, teamwork, curiosity, and integrity.  KSA is especially interested in reaching historically underserved students who are struggling to reach their potential and looking for a school that will get them on a college preparatory track for life.

Mission/Vision

KIPP Summit Academy (KSA) will develop in our students the academic skills, intellectual habits, and character qualities necessary to succeed in top-quality high schools, colleges and the competitive world beyond.

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.
