New Schools for Chicago

We believe every student in Chicago deserves a quality education.

Our mission is to radically improve outcomes for children by shaking up the public education system. We do that by focusing on three areas: bringing top-performing charter schools to communities of high need, demanding accountability for all school models, and promoting school choice.

Charter schools. Education that’s beating the odds.
