About Knowledge Is Power Program
The Knowledge is Power Program (KIPP) is a network of tuition-free, open-enrollment college-preparatory public charter schools serving students in historically underserved communities across the United States. Founded in 1994 by Mike Feinberg and Dave Levin, both former Teach For America corps members, KIPP has grown into one of the largest public charter school networks in the country. The organization's instructional model was influenced by educator Harriett Ball.
