KIPP schools

KIPP (Knowledge Is Power Program) schools are a network of public charter schools focused on preparing students from underserved communities for college and careers. They emphasize high academic standards, extended school hours, and a strong sense of discipline and character development. The goal is to provide equitable educational opportunities by fostering student ambition, perseverance, and responsibility, while maintaining accountability and a supportive environment. KIPP schools operate with a belief that all children can succeed with the right resources, effort, and community involvement, aiming to bridge gaps in educational equity and achievement.
