Our Commitment to Diversity
We believe that all children, regardless of race or economic status, deserve a great education. To that end, our seven high-achieving public charter schools serve educationally underserved communities across the Bay Area. Our mission is to develop in our students the knowledge, skills and character essential to thrive in college, shape their futures, and positively impact the world.
In carrying out our mission, KIPP Bay Area Schools must ensure that our staff is composed of individuals who, through their knowledge; commitment; and understanding of student needs and effective teaching, can ensure all of our students climb the mountain to and through college. As a result, diversity amongst teachers and staff is critical to our mission.
