KIPP Philadelphia Schools

KIPP Philadelphia Schools is a part of the KIPP, or the Knowledge is Power Program, network open enrollment, college-preparatory public charter schools. KIPP is a non-profit network of college-preparatory, public charter schools serving elementary, middle, and high school students. It has a 20-year track record of preparing students in educationally underserved communities for success in college and life. The schools are a part of the free public school system and enrollment is open to all students. KIPP charter schools are given more academic and budgetary flexibility than traditional public schools, and in exchange commit to deliver high-quality academic results for students. There are nearly 200 KIPP schools in 20 states and the District of Columbia serving nearly 70,000 students on their path to and through college. KIPP believes that excellent academics, safe and structured schools, empowered teachers, an emphasis on character development and support through college are the foundation for student success, and we strive to provide this for every student.
