KIPP began in 1994 after founders Dave Levin and Mike Feinberg completed their two-year commitment to Teach For America and launched a program for fifth graders in a public school in inner-city Houston, Texas.
Feinberg and Levin’s efforts became the story told by Jay Mathews, in his best-selling book, Work hard.

KIPP has also inspired Paul Tough to write How Children Succeed: Grit, Curiosity, and the Hidden Power of Character.
