The Catalyst Charter Schools

The Catalyst Schools believe that every child possesses inherent value and potential, regardless of background, educational level, or life circumstances.

Our college-preparatory schools partner with urban communities to offer K–8 students welcoming educational settings that nurture academic, social, and emotional growth. As students move on to high school, they remain vital members of the Catalyst community through our graduate support programs. We help all students and graduates discover a fruitful path to high school, to college, and to a citizenship that embraces peace, justice, and respect. We actively engage students’ families and neighborhoods, striving to create strong connections between students’ education and the communities they live in. Guided by this mission, we empower our students to become agents of change.
