The Knowledge is Power Program, commonly known as KIPP, is a network of free open-enrollment college-preparatory public charter schools in low income communities throughout the United States. As of 2009[update], KIPP is North America's largest network of public charter schools.[2] The head offices are in San Francisco, Chicago, New York City, and Washington, D.C.[3]
KIPP was founded in 1994 by Mike Feinberg and Dave Levin, two Teach For America corps members, influenced by educator Harriett Ball.[4][5] KIPP was one of the charter school organizations to help produce the Relay Graduate School of Education for teacher training.[6]
