OUR MISSION

Leap's mission is to build strong mathematical foundations that nurture problem-solving and critical thinking- skills essential for success in today’s world. We believe every child has the potential to thrive in mathematics.

We partner with educators to promote innovative, high-impact teaching practices and enhance student learning experiences. Our work is focused on addressing opportunity gaps and supporting all learners.

We are committed to maintaining deep expertise in mathematics and leading the way in effective, student-centered math instruction.

OUR HISTORY

Leap was born from Achievement First's Charter Network Accelerator (CNA), a former division of Achievement First - a top-performing charter network of 41 schools.

We are a team of former classroom teachers, school leaders, curriculum writers, and coaches. We meet partners where they are and believe there is more than one “right” way to educate kids or build a network. We are a Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprise vendor.
