Springpoint
Springpoint is a national nonprofit organization that partners with select school districts and networks to design and launch new secondary schools that bring all students to college and career readiness. Guided by a set of research-based design principles, Springpoint serves as a support hub for districts, networks, and their design teams during planning and implementation. In addition to supporting districts and networks directly, Springpoint aims to connect those doing this work to each other. Springpoint partners and critical friends work together to build an ever-improving network of knowledge and expertise for other districts, networks, school designers, and educators across the country, with the shared goal of greatly increasing the career and college readiness of all young people. The Springpoint team facilitates this learning and collaboration within our network through webinars, convenings, trainings and online social media.
