KIPP Adelante Preparatory Academy is a tuition-free, college preparatory charter public middle school in San Diego and is part of the national KIPP (Knowledge Is Power Program) network of 270 schools in 20 states and Washington, DC.

In Spanish, “adelante” means “to progress” and it is the principle upon which our school is founded. At KIPP Adelante, we believe that all students are capable of getting ahead, achieving at high levels, and attaining a college education. We commit to the promise we, our families, and our community make: students will “seguir adelante” (continue to progress) in pursuit of their dreams and a choice-filled life.
