Across the country, students and their families are asking for something better — learning experiences that are meaningful, engaging, and connected to their futures. 

At NewSchools, we’re inspired by how educators and entrepreneurs are designing solutions that respond to the needs of today’s learners, and we’re honored to play a role in providing essential early-stage capital and coaching to make new schools and organizations a reality. 

In this report, you’ll get a snapshot of our impact in 2024: new investments, updates on how ventures improve student outcomes and scale their reach, and an overview of how NewSchools amplifies what’s working in education. We’d like to thank our ventures, supporters, partners, and friends who are helping to carry on NewSchools’ 25-year legacy of achieving real progress in education. 

Creating a better future starts in our classrooms, and we’re committed to ensuring all students — especially those furthest from opportunity — can build a successful life and brighter future for all of us. 

As we head into 2025 — year two of our current three-year strategy — I’m keeping my eye on the horizon with patience, possibility, and dedication. We are staying grounded in the importance of our mission while responding to the changes in our dynamic landscape. I know our innovators are, too.
