The Institute for Better Schools

The Institute for Better Schools (TIBS) is committed to reshaping education through bold, transformative leadership that prioritizes diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice. We partner with school systems and leaders nationwide to break down structural barriers, amplify marginalized voices, and create inclusive, high-performing schools that respect and nurture each student’s unique identity and potential. Our mission is to foster learning environments where every student can excel and feel valued, regardless of their background. By investing in leaders who champion these principles, TIBS drives meaningful, systemic change in education—ensuring every school is a place of opportunity, growth, and support for all.
