Knowledge Is Power Program (KIPP)

The Knowledge Is Power Program (KIPP) is a network of public charter schools focused on preparing underserved students for college and success in life. Founded on high expectations, rigorous academics, and character development, KIPP schools aim to close achievement gaps by providing extra support, longer school hours, and a strong sense of community. They operate independently of traditional public school systems but are publicly funded, allowing them to innovate in teaching and student engagement while maintaining accountability for results. Overall, KIPP seeks to empower students through education, equipping them with skills and confidence for future success.
