Jason is the Founder & CEO of Gobstopper. Jason is no stranger to the intersection between education, technology, and entrepreneurship. Singer is the founder of both KIPP Summit Academy and KIPP King Collegiate High School, two extraordinarily high-performing college preparatory charter schools within the KIPP network. KIPP King Collegiate High
School is considered a national model for developing critical thinking skills among students (for a look inside, check out this video). Notably, Jason is also a former English teacher, district-wide Teacher of the Year, and Fulbright Scholar.
In 2009, Jason received a Jefferson Award for Public Service for his work serving students and their families while leading KIPP Summit Academy and KIPP King Collegiate High School.
Prior to his decade with KIPP, Singer co-founded FairAir, a market exchange for airline tickets, where he served as Vice President of Business Development, and CHALK, a nationally recognized youth employment and development nonprofit, where he served as the organization’s Executive Director. CHALK’s Virtual Visitors program, a Microsoft Connected Learning Community Award recipient, was an early pioneer in the online education technology space.
Singer holds a B.A. in English and World History from Pitzer College and an M.A. in Secondary Education from the University of Mississippi where he earned his Master’s degree as a member of the Mississippi Teacher Corps.
Jason is currently reading Delivering Happiness by Tony Hsieh and loves reading Iggy Peck the Architect by Andrea Beaty to his two wonderful boys.
