If you are an experienced, dynamic, entrepreneurial educator; if you have achieved outstanding results in your classroom or school; if you believe that every child can learn and you will do whatever it takes to ensure that every child does learn, then this is your chance to prove that every child can and will learn if given the opportunity to attend an excellent school.

This is your chance to become part of a national movement in urban education reform. The New Schools for New Orleans School Founder Fellowship supports and funds an extremely selective group of exemplary school founders as they prepare to launch open-enrollment public charter schools in New Orleans. Founders will have access to site visits at our nation's best charter schools, including schools in the KIPP, Achievement First, and Uncommon Schools networks. This program also provides significant financial, operational, and community resources to new school founders in the year before opening to ensure that they are reaching to achieve outstanding results from day one.

We must not fail to live up to this unprecedented opportunity to provide excellent public schools for every New Orleans child. Join the transformation of New Orleans public schools as a founding school leader. Demonstrate to this city and to this nation that every child can learn.
