Our Future
Growing with intention to reach more Northern California students
We are growing with intention and in partnership with families and communities. In the coming years, we’re building the safe and state-of-the-art campuses that our students and families deserve. This August, KIPP opened our second school in Stockton—KIPP University Park Middle School—in the heart of the city.
In partnership with Stockton families and community organizations, we will open a total of five elementary, middle, and high schools that will serve grades TK-12 and support students through whatever path they choose—college, career, and beyond. Over time, our schools in Stockton will grow our community to nearly 10,000 students across Northern California.

Offering an education that supports and affirms every student
Offering an education that supports and affirms every student
Excellent teaching and learning is a collective effort, and we are laser focused on creating best-in-class public schools where all students do well. This means an uncompromising commitment to advancing educational equity—raising the bar for all students, while narrowing the gaps between the highest- and lowest-performing students, and completely eliminating the racial predictability and disproportionality of student outcomes.
Our leaders bond over their dreams for the futures of all KIPP students.
KIPP Forward: Supporting alumni to pursue their highest aspirations
KIPP Forward: supporting alumni to pursue their highest aspirations
A focus on post-secondary success and support for our alumni has always been fundamental to KIPP Northern California’s mission. KIPP Forward continues to ensure all graduates are college-ready, while also supporting career-building pathways for students aligned with their goals and sense of purpose.
KIPP students graduate and become pharmacists, engineers, nurses, programmers, emergency responders, and lawyers, among many other professions. And, in a testament to the power and community of KIPP, over 40 KIPP Northern California alumni have chosen to return to KIPP to teach or work at our schools.
The Class of 2022 is our first graduating class to benefit from the full KIPP Through College to KIPP Forward evolution, with career pathways integrated more robustly into advising conversations. 96% of the Class of 2022 matched with a post-secondary pathway, including college, apprenticeships, military careers, and certified training programs—an incredible accomplishment despite the continued challenges of the pandemic.
We know that KIPP schools do not thrive on their own. As we look to the next 20 years, we know our biggest strength is the collective power and love of our family, alumni, and supporter community.
