OUR MISSION

Leap's mission is to cultivate a robust mathematical foundation essential for fostering problem-solving and critical thinking skills crucial for success in today's society. We firmly believe in the potential of every child to excel in mathematics.

Our aim is to partner with educators, promote exemplary and innovative teaching practices, and enrich student learning experiences, which help to dismantle systemic racism within educational systems.

Through collaboration and empowerment, we strive to amplify the impact of school leaders and teachers and equip schools with indispensable resources to develop math programs that ensure inclusivity, student discourse, and sustainable academic achievements, particularly within historically marginalized communities.

We are dedicated to maintaining expertise in mathematics and pioneering best practices in math pedagogy.

OUR VISION

We envision a world in which all students experience an education that empowers them to lead lives of choice and opportunity.

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.
