The mission of KIPP San Francisco College Preparatory is to prepare all students with the academic skills, knowledge, and strength of character to succeed in college and in the competitive world beyond.

We Are SFUSD
You should always try to take challenging classes and explore what you haven’t learned before. In my AP Government and Politics class, I had to learn how to understand and accept opposing views. I had to listen to what the other side had to say.
