In 2000, the non-profit KIPP Foundation began training prospective principals to replicate the success of the two original KIPP Academies in Houston and the South Bronx. Over the past ten years, KIPP has trained over 100 principals through the KIPP School Leadership Program to open and run KIPP schools in 20 states and the District of Columbia.
The KIPP School Leadership Program looks for exceptional teachers and school leaders who have achieved dramatic results with their students and who want to build a school of excellence from the ground up. We seek individuals from all backgrounds who believe in KIPP's mission and who have the potential to excel as school leaders within our network.
In order to open a new KIPP school, prospective leaders must be accepted into and successfully complete the KIPP School Leadership Program, which consists of two different fellowship opportunities, the Fisher and Miles Family Fellowships.
