About KIPP So Cal

KIPP SoCal Public Schools is a nonprofit organization that operates 20 tuition‑free, open‑enrollment charter public schools, within 17 Local Education Agencies (LEA), educating more than 10,000 students and supporting 8,300 alumni to and through college and beyond. Our award‑winning schools are part of the national KIPP (Knowledge Is Power Program) network, dedicated to meeting the needs of all learners and providing the social, emotional and academic support for success in high school, college, and life.

Together with families and communities, we create joyful, academically excellent schools that prepare students with the skills and confidence to pursue the paths they choose—college, career and beyond—so they can lead fulfilling lives and create a more just world.

At KIPP SoCal we build trusting relationships that are strengthened by high expectations and collaboration alongside laughter and joy. We set ambitious goals and hold each other accountable for students achieving their greatest potential. We work together with each other and in partnership with families and communities in the active pursuit of a more equitable world. We do the right thing, even when it’s not always comfortable standing up and speaking out against anti‑blackness, racism, oppression, and injustice.

We persevere through obstacles and treat failure as an opportunity to learn and grow.

KIPP SoCal provides expanded learning programs before, after school, in summer school or through intersession learning opportunities. These programs focus on developing the academic, social, emotional, and physical needs and interests of pupils through hands‑on, engaging learning experiences. The Expanded Learning Program Manager is responsible for developing, implementing, and overseeing the expanded learning program for all interested students at a KIPP SoCal campus and manages the team members involved.

The Expanded Learning Program Manager reports directly to school administration and has the continued support from the Expanded Learning Team at our regional office.
