A network committed to achievement, equity & inquiry

Springboard Schools is a nonprofit network of educators committed to raising student achievement and narrowing the achievement gap. We work with education organizations and their leaders at every level of the system to provide them with knowledge, skills and tools to create school systems in which good teaching is the norm in every classroom for every student.

But we're not just committed. We're doing it. Learn about our impact here.

We were founded in 1995 as the Bay Area School Reform Collaborative (BASRC). Since that time we have worked in hundreds of schools in dozens of school districts throughout California. Our clients include urban, suburban and rural school districts both large and small.

We offer our clients and partners four kinds of help. Our research department provides access to ideas, tools and materials from the high performing, high poverty schools and districts we study. Springboard Schools professional development services provide high-impact learning opportunities. And Springboard Schools's District Partner program gives districts the opportunity to contract for on-site coaching that helps ensure that new solutions actually get implemented. Our tools and resources include a full menu of effective tools and services for improving schools. Springboard Schools clients know what they need to do to improve, why, and they receive on-site help on how. Few other organizations are as well-positioned to answer all three questions. In addition, Springboard Schools is a CDE-approved SAIT provider for elementary, middle, and high schools.
