School partners
Our partners
Springboard partners with school networks from coast to coast. We are honored to have major vendor agreements with some of the nation’s largest school districts, as well as longstanding relationships with charter and parochial schools. Though we serve a broad and diverse range of school communities, they all have something in common: they demand the best for their students and invest in partnerships that help them thrive.

Springboard expanded to Baltimore in Summer 2018, serving 600 students across 7 school communities.

Springboard’s first push into the Central Valley landed us in Fresno Unified as the result of seed funding from Halloran Philanthropies and the Silver Giving Foundation. We specifically focused on under-performing African American students as part of the district’s achievement strategy for this subgroup.
In Summer 2018, Springboard served 210 students at one central hub school and provided technical assistance to middle school leaders who modified our curriculum and program structure to meet the literacy needs of 6th-8th graders. In partnership with district leaders, we be studied this program twist closely to gauge lessons learned that might later be applied to expand our program offerings to include middle-schoolers.

In 2017, Springboard conducted programming in NYC for the first time. Our founding school partners included Public Prep, PAVE, and Global Community Charter School. Since then, we have also established partnerships with district schools in collaboration with the United Way, the Pinkerton Foundation, and the Heckscher Foundation for Children.
We were thrilled to more than triple Springboard’s reach in New York in just our second year there, and we are excited to see what else the future holds for us in the Big Apple.

Through a partnership with the San Francisco Unified School District, Springboard launched in San Francisco in Summer 2017 as a single-site pilot in the Bayview neighborhood. Based on the pilot’s initial success —and boosted by a 5-year investment from San Francisco’s Department of Children, Youth and their Families—Springboard expanded to serve 960 scholars and their families across 8 elementary schools in Summer 2018. Springboard classrooms also act as training ground for new teachers from the district’s internal credentialing program; these new teachers support Springboard teachers with instruction.

“Springboard’s commitment to creating meaningful partnerships between home and school has led us to reimagine what family engagement looks like at [our school]. Our engagement with our parents – through conversations, conferences, family nights, and newsletters – now focuses on data and equipping our parents with the tools they need to support their students’ achievement at home.”
