About the book
Jay Mathews documents the history of KIPP (Knowledge Is Power Program), a network of charter schools that has achieved extraordinary results educating students from disadvantaged communities. The book reveals the simple but rigorous principles driving that success: high expectations, diligent work, and an environment that values both discipline and compassion.
Through engaging narratives and concrete data, Mathews offers insights into education, social transformation, and the impact that dedication and focused leadership can have on the lives of at-risk children.
