Growing our network of great schools
The schools we work with are guiding stars on a journey to greatness. We prioritize our funding and support for schools that support low-income Minneapolis communities and are committed to continual improvement and strong outcomes for all students. They benefit from tailored support and strategic interventions that include:
- Providing strategic planning, grounded in data and focused on a clear articulation of student success
- Offering coaching for teachers and leaders
- Incorporating high-quality curriculum and literacy programs
- Establishing positive school culture and family engaging
- Building talent strategies to attract and retain high-performing, diverse teachers
Portfolio Schools
Partner Schools
In addition to supporting portfolio schools, which typically receive multi-year funding commitments for planning and implementation, we offer targeted supports to Minneapolis schools through our summer learning program, literacy curriculum implementation, and cohort training opportunities, as they work to strengthen key conditions for growth and success.
A great school is possible for every child.
