High School Placement
Since our first class matriculated to high school in 2006, KIPP Bridge College Prep alumni have enrolled at some of the finest schools in the Bay Area and beyond. As a result of KIPP Bridge students’ track record of academic achievement, leadership, and character, we have developed strong relationships with public, private, and parochial schools in the Bay Area, as well as boarding schools and the A Better Chance program. Through High School Placement, KIPP Bridge 7th and 8th graders and their parents learn about a broad range of college-preparatory high school options. The Director of High School Placement helps them to identify and earn admission and scholarships to the best school for each student.
