The Great Schools Partnership is a nonprofit school-support organization committed to redesigning public education to improve the quality of learning for all students. Our focus is not on a single classroom, school, or district, but we work at all levels of the educational system—from the classroom to the statehouse—in the effort to shape America's finest secondary schools.

With decades of collective service in support of public schools, we offer school coaching, professional development, and technical assistance to educators, schools, districts, and state agencies. We also develop cutting-edge tools and resources, conduct and publish school-based research, and oversee the implementation of major public and private grants.

The Great Schools Partnership is a National Affiliate Center of the Coalition of Essential Schools and the lead coordinator of the New England Secondary School Consortium (newenglandssc.org).

OUR VISION
We envision an equitable, rigorous, and personalized education system that prepares every student for college, work, and global citizenship.

OUR MISSION
Our mission is to develop and advocate for sustainable educational policies, effective school leadership, proven instructional practices, and student-centered learning models built on strong community connections.

OUR CORE BELIEFS
The Great Schools Partnership stands behind the following core beliefs:

* Every student deserves to be held to high expectations.

* High-quality teaching and learning is every student's right, every day.

* A collegiate education must be an accessible and attainable option for every student who has earned a high school diploma.

* Schools must model civic responsibility, social justice, and multicultural understanding.
