How We Support

We partner with schools that have demonstrated strong academic results for students across identity markers, a positive and affirming school culture, consistent family demand, and sound operations. 

Out investments are designed to help leaders deepen quality and strengthen organizational capacity as they navigate the challenges of sustainable growth, whether they are focused on strengthening a single school or preparing to expand their impact to serve more students and communities across the state.

Hear From Our Partners

  • We've been doing work over the past three years to align our curriculum to the science of reading, which is one big investment – both financially an in terms of time.

    ESWA was really kind to help us with that change; we're so grateful to put those curricular resources in every single one of our classrooms. 

    Emma Bean
    Chief Academic Officer, Impact Public Schools

  • Our scholars have definitely grown since the implementation of Fishtank, the reading curriculum ESWA gifted our school. 

    Eight-six percent of our kindergarteners are meeting their reading goals.  Seeing their confidence in their writing and ability to read has been so wonderful.
