As we approach our Senior Signing Days — our hallmark celebration of our students' college acceptances — we also celebrate those who make it possible! We’re deeply grateful to the Charles Hayden Foundation, which supports our North Star high schoolers in Newark with direct initiatives to help them access and succeed in college, and to the Clark Foundation, which supports all of our schools in NYC. Together, you're helping dreams take flight. 🎓✨ (fb)

It’s National Charter School Week, and we’re celebrating the journey of every Uncommon student! At Uncommon Schools, we believe every student deserves a strong start and a strong finish to their educational journey. 📚✨ 🎉 In elementary school, we spark a love of learning with fast-paced, rigorous, and fun lessons. We teach values like kindness, respect, and hard work to nurture both hearts and minds. 🌍 In middle school, students deepen their critical thinking skills, discover who they are, and engage with the world around them. They learn to debate, reflect, and grow as thoughtful citizens. 🎓 In high school, every student works closely with a counselor to find the college that’s right for them. 96% of our graduates have earned admission to 4-year colleges since 1997. Students from Uncommon Schools graduate from college at 4x the rate of their lowest-income peers nationally. Our support doesn’t stop there: our alumni success coaches are with them through graduation and beyond. This week, we celebrate the promise of public charter schools and the potential of every student. 💙 (fb)
