Chris Bostock has been in education since 2006 when he began his career as a Teach for America Corps Member in New Haven, Connecticut. After his corps member experience, he joined Achievement First Amistad High School as an AP U.S. History teacher, where he later became Principal. He led the school for several years and the school was named the #1 school in Connecticut according to U.S. News and World Reports. After leading a second high school for Achievement First in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, he worked at the KIPP Foundation. At KIPP, he developed KIPP’s approach to high school design, arc-of-the-year leadership, and the first set of common academic policies for KIPP nationwide. Most recently, he served as the Managing Director of High Schools for KIPP New Orleans, where he led the region’s high school expansion, founded the high school curriculum team, and managed college access and alumni success teams. While Chris grew up outside of Philadelphia, he’s been happy to call Los Angeles his home since 2021 with his wife Taylor and dog Bodhi. He enjoys running, gaming, the Philadelphia Eagles, and has recently gotten super into cooking. Chris completed his B.A. at Trinity College and his M.A. at Columbia University.
