Who We Are

New Visions for Public Schools is the leading non-profit organization dedicated to the improvement of public education in New York City.  Today, we support 1,600 public schools and thousands of teachers, serving almost 1,000,000 students, in their most critical work: deciding what and how to teach, helping keep students on track to graduation, and preparing students for success beyond high school.  New Visions directly manages a network of 10 charter high schools across the Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens.
