KIPP Academy of Opportunity

Work hard. Be nice.

KIPP Academy of Opportunity (KAO) is a high-performing free public charter middle school located in South Los Angeles. We serve approximately 400 students in grades five through eight. KAO enables students to become self-motivated, competent, life-long learners. Our students recognize that an outstanding education is key to achieving personal success and leading a life of infinite opportunity.

Our mission is to ensure that students develop the academic skills, character, and intellectual habits necessary to succeed in competitive high schools, colleges, and the world beyond. Our four guiding principles are: grit, honor, love, and leadership.

KIPP Academy of Opportunity is part of the renowned national KIPP (Knowledge is Power Program) network of schools. The school is operated by KIPP LA Schools, a charter management organization. For the agendas and minutes from KIPP LA Schools public board meetings, please go to this link.
