Vision

The Acceleration Schools initiative is a comprehensive, multi-year school turnaround effort focused on serving our communities’ most vulnerable schools. 

We will focus on serving the academic, social, and cultural needs of our students, and work alongside staff, families, and our community to develop and support the whole child. 

We will work to equip students with the skills needed to thrive and impact the world, while prioritizing equity and building systems that will sustain success and ensure endless possibilities for all scholars.

We will empower teachers and school leaders to close the opportunity gap between our communities’ most vulnerable and chronically underperforming schools, and ensure all students have access to a world-class educational experience. 

Exceptional People:  Every student will have a great teacher and a strong school leader.

Rigorous Content and Instruction:  Every student can achieve their college or career goals.

Community Partnership:  Every student and their family are proud of their school.

School Transformation: Every division is committed to transforming schools with an equitable and relentless focus on leadership, talent management, instructional infrastructure, and climate and culture.
