KIPP Bay Area Schools

In the San Francisco Bay Area, five KIPP middle schools and three KIPP high schools are closing the achievement gap between low-income students and their more advantaged peers. Two additional middle schools will open in East San Jose in the summer of 2014. These tuition-free, college-preparatory schools are located in the underserved neighborhoods of Bayview Hunters Point, Potrero Hill, and the Western Addition in San Francisco, East San Jose, San Lorenzo, and West Oakland. KIPP Bay Area Schools serves more than 2,800 students.

KIPP Across The Nation

KIPP, the Knowledge Is Power Program, is a national network of free, open-enrollment, college-preparatory public schools dedicated to preparing students in underserved communities for success in college and in life. By opening schools in the neighborhoods that need them most, KIPP schools are showing that something very different is possible for students in low-income neighborhoods. In 2013-14, 141 KIPP schools in 20 states and the District of Columbia are serving more than 50,000 students. Nationally, KIPP students are enrolling in college at a rate of more than 80 percent, which is double the national average for low-income students.

KIPP Bay Area Schools is hiring excellent teachers for the 2014-15 school year. Five of the schools serve students in grades 5-8, our high school in San Francisco will serve grades 9 and 10, and our high schools in San Lorenzo and San Jose serve students in grades 9-12. Teaching positions are available in a variety of positions in all subject areas.
