Mission Statement

To support the development of academically rigorous, financially sustainable TeamCFA charter schools by employing proven academic, business and governance practices and leveraging the free market to support the broader school choice movement.

Description

TeamCFA is a national network of tuition free, public charter schools, built on the values of hard work, good citizenship, and teamwork.

Our ultimate goal is to graduate thoughtful, articulate youth who are prepared to become productive, accountable, engaged citizens. We do so by ensuring that the Core Knowledge Sequence-a research-based, coherent, cumulative, content-specific K-8 curricular sequence in the language arts, history, and geography, mathematics, science, art, and music-is implemented with fidelity. In TeamCFA schools, Core Knowledge content is infused into the teaching of skills such as reading and writing.

Schools in the TeamCFA network gain access to startup funding, grants, training, services, the Core Knowledge curriculum, and-in some cases-the necessary facilities. Within 5-7 years, schools become self-sustaining and contribute to the thriving, collaborative network.
