About A+ Schools
Who We Are
A+ Schools is an independent community advocate for improvement in student achievement.
Our vision is a community mobilized to improve public education to produce successive generations of young people who thrive and who build their families and futures in Pittsburgh.
Our purpose is to be a community force advancing the highest educational achievement and character development for every public school student.Â
A+ Schools’ board is comprised of nineteen people of different backgrounds, skills and interests. All share the belief that every child deserves an excellent education. And all are committed to dramatic improvement in student achievement. A+ Schools is staffed by four professionals -- an Executive Director, a Program Director, a Program Associate and an Executive Assistant. A+ Schools is funded by independent local foundations. A+ Schools is neither a government agency nor an agency of the Pittsburgh Public Schools.
Our strategic priorities are to engage, educate and advocate such that
- Pittsburgh has a school board that functions effectively, is focused on student learning, and sets and monitors policy.
- Pittsburgh has a public school system that is accessible, deliberate, transparent, and accountable.
- Every student in the Pittsburgh Public Schools benefits from excellent classroom instruction.
