The Challenge
KIPP Columbus is a growing region of the Knowledge Is Power Program (KIPP) network of charter schools. Located in Columbus, Ohio, this KIPP region began as a single charter school: KIPP Journey Academy. With plans to add additional schools, the organization needed a website that would reflect the values of KIPP while attracting teachers, donors and students’ families.
The Solution
Atarah Software designed and built a powerful website using WordPress as the content management system. By providing flexible tools, the website allows the organization to enroll students, accept applications from teachers and influence donors to act, all the while, managing the operations in-house. In August 2014, KIPP Columbus Elementary becomes the region’s second school. With its addition, KIPP Columbus is realizing its mission of creating a system of schools where students develop the intellectual, academic and social skills needed to understand and take action on issues they encounter in everyday life.
