KIPP Scholar Academy has provided a tuition-free, high quality, award-winning public school education, serving grades 5-8 in South Los Angeles for over a decade. KSA has gained recognition as a Top-Performing LA County Public School, and recently, awarded one of the Best Middle Schools in California by US News & World Report.

KSA fosters a transformative educational environment where students engage in rigorous academic instruction, collaborative character development and arts & music-based learning experiences. Deeply connected to the transformative power of the Arts, KIPP Scholar promotes creativity and self-expression as one of the few performing arts-focused middle schools in Los Angeles, where every student learns to play an instrument or participate in the choir program. In 2023, the school will relocate to a beautiful new campus a few miles from its current home.
