About Us

Our Mission

New Leaders for New Schools ensures high academic achievement for every student by attracting and preparing outstanding leaders and supporting the performance of the urban public schools they lead, at scale.

Core Beliefs

1. Every student can achieve the highest levels of academic excellence. At New Leaders for New Schools, we mean every student in every circumstance.

2. Adults are responsible for ensuring that all students excel academically. We, as adults, can and must do more to unlock the potential of each and every student.

3. Delivering high-quality public education to all students is critical to a just society that affords every student the full range of opportunities in life.

4. Great schools are led by great principals. These principals are instructional leaders who coach teachers to reach every student and partner with students' families and communities to make schools effective.

5. With access to outstanding public schools, all students will develop the competence, critical thinking, social, and civic skills to reach their highest potential in the classroom and in life.
