Company History
Partners in School Innovation was founded in 1993, with the aim of eliminating the racial achievement gap in public education. It was co-founded by Julien Phillips, a former Peace Corps Volunteer and McKinsey & Co. partner, and Kim Grose, a Rhodes scholar and social justice advocate. They began a model to create systemic improvements in low-performing schools with the support of AmeriCorps members, or "Partners".
