Achievement First was founded on a central core belief: all children, regardless of race or economic status, deserve access to a great education. With that access, our students are excelling.

Our goal is to help all students achieve their big dreams. We’re here to help them develop the skills they need to graduate from top colleges, succeed in a competitive world, and serve as the next generation of leaders in our community. And we are committed to serving all students—including students with disabilities and English Learners. Our students are “our why.” They are the reason we do what we do, every day.
