We aim to free our schools to focus on our students by centralizing and coordinating certain functions, like curriculum and talent development, finance, operations, recruitment and more. This enables us to provide services more efficiently—capturing and sharing best practices across the network—and at a lower cost than a single school would on its own. Our Network Support teams provide the exemplary services our schools need and deserve.
