Institute in Basic Life Principles. Headed up by Bill Gothard, it is the parent organization of about 70+ different programs, ranging from their homeschool doctrine to overseas orphan care.

IBLP is infamous for making vague and bland names for their programs through the use of acronyms. Also, they make volunteer students pay to work at their Training Centers under the guise of teaching them character during their stay.
Some IBLP Programs:

EXCEL (Excellence in Character, Education, and Leadership),

COMMIT (Cultivating Obedience, Ministering Mercy, Internalizing Truth)

EQUIP (Establishing Quick Understanding in Precepts)

...and many more
